Answer:  Total number of students will be 112.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

The ratio of boys to girls in the top 10% of their class at Bixby High School was

3:5

So, Let the number of boys be 3x

Let the number of girls be 5x

According to question,

\frac{3x+6}{5x+2}=\frac{2}{3}\\\\3(3x+6)=2(5x+2)\\\\9x+18=10x+4\\\\18-4=10x-9x\\\\14=x

So, total number of students will be

3x+5x=8x\\\\8\times 14=112

Hence, Total number of students will be 112.

Grace and her brother Sid want to raise money to go to band camp. Their parents have agreed to help them earn up to $400 by payi
lukranit [14]

Answer:

25m + 10b = 400

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount that can be earned = $ 400

Amount earned on mowing a lawn = $ 25

Amount earned per hour on babysitting = $10

Amount earned for mowing one lawn is $ 25, so amount earned for mowing m lawns will be $ 25m

Amount earned for one hour of babysitting is $ 10, so amount earned for babysitting for b hours will be $ 10b

 

Using the values from above, we can set up the equation as:

400 = 25m + 10b

or

25m + 10b = 400

This equation represents the number of lawns they can mow, m, and hours they can babysit, b, to earn $400.

Hope this helps have a good day

Answer:

<u>The measure of the arc CD = 64°</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

It is required to find the measure of the arc CD in degrees.

So, as shown at the graph

BE and AD are are diameters of circle P

And ∠APE is a right angle ⇒ ∠APE = 90°

So, BE⊥AD

And so, ∠BPE = 90° ⇒(1)

But it is given: ∠BPE = (33k-9)° ⇒(2)

From (1) and (2)

∴ 33k - 9 = 90

∴ 33k = 90 + 9 = 99

∴ k = 99/33 = 3

The measure of the arc CD = ∠CPD = 20k + 4

By substitution with k

<u>∴ The measure of the arc CD = 20*3 + 4 = 60 + 4 = 64°</u>
