Answer:

<u>There are 70 students on the two buses, 42 on the large and 28 on the smaller.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of students on the large bus = 42

Number of students on the small bus = 40% of the students

2. How many total students are on the two buses?

For answering the question, we will use the Rule of Three Simple, this way:

42 students are 60% of total students, how much students are the 100%?

Total students = 42 * 100/60

Total students = 4,200/60 = 70

<u>There are 70 students on the two buses, 42 on the large and 28 on the smaller.</u>

A store is having a sale on jelly beans and trail mix. For 8 pounds of jelly beans and 3 pounds of trail mix, the total is $18.
topjm [15]

Answer: each pound of jelly beans costs 1.5 dollars, or $1.50, and each pound of trail mix costs 2 dollars, or $2

Step-by-step explanation:

j = jellybeans

t = trail mix

2j + 5t = 13

8j + 3t = 18

To solve this, we want to isolate a variable, and solve for the other. Let's do that with each equation.

2j + 5t = 13

2j = 13 - 5t

j = (13 - 5t) / 2

8j + 3t = 18

8j = 18 - 3t

j = (18 - 3t) / 8

Now that we have isolated the variable j in each equation, we can set the two right-sides equal to each other, and solve for t.

(13 - 5t) / 2 = (18 - 3t) / 8

By multiplying both sides by 8, this becomes simpler to look at.

8 * (13 - 5t) / 2 = 18 - 3t

4 * (13 - 5t) = 18 - 3t

4 * 13 - 4 * 5t = 18 - 3t

52 - 20t = 18 - 3t

52 = 18 + 17t

34 = 17t

34 / 17 = t

t = 2

Now that we have solved for t, we can trivially plug it into one of the other equations to solve for j. Let's choose the first equation, as it doesn't matter which we choose.

t = 2

2j + 5t = 13

2j + 5 * 2 = 13

2j + 10 = 13

2j = 13 - 10

2j = 3

j = 1.5

So, each pound of jelly beans costs 1.5 dollars, or $1.50, and each pound of trail mix costs 2 dollars, or $2.

A sporting goods store sells triangular team pennants in two sizes. The base of one pennant is 18 in. and the length of the side
juin [17]
This is a proportion problem because the problem stated that the two team pennants are similar.

Pennant 1 = base = 18 in ; length = 9 inches
Pennant 2 = base =   6 in ; length = x ?

9/18 = x/6
9*6 = 18x
54 = 18x
54/18 = x
3 = x

The length of the  side of the smaller pennant is 3 inches.
