Answer: 460 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, let the total number of students that attend I.S. 59 be represented by x.
Since we've been given the information that 230 signed up for the school picnic which was 50% of all students in the school. Then, the students in the school will be:
= 50% of x = 230
0.5 × x = 230
0.5x = 230
x = 230/0.5
x = 460
Therefore, 460 students attend the school.
Using the combination formula, it is found that 2,220,075 committees can be formed.
The order in which the people are chosen is not important, hence, the <em>combination formula</em> is used to solve this question.
<h3>Combination formula:
</h3>
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by:
In this problem, 8 people are chosen from a set of 12 + 15 = 27, hence:
2,220,075 committees can be formed.

The same thing to the other side
Let the number of bags that he would have been used to put 3 kg of apples be x. Thus the number of bags that would be used to put 2kgs will therefore be (x+9), hence the total number of kgs the bags will hold will be given by:
3*x=3x kgs
2(x+9)=(2x+18) kgs
since the total weights are the same then:
2x+18=3x
hence
18=3x-2x
18=x
thus the number of bags required to put 3 kgs of apples will be 18. Thus the total Kgs of apples was:
3x
=3*18
=54 kgs
<h3>
Answer: -1.5</h3>
============================================================
Explanation:
Draw a horizontal line from W to the y axis. You should arrive somewhere between -1 and -2. While this isn't exact, it looks like we should arrive right at the middle of -1 and -2; therefore we should get to -1.5
The y coordinate of W is -1.5
Keep in mind this is based on the assumption we reach the halfway point. Unfortunately, W is not on any horizontal grid lines to be able to determine exactly where W is along the y axis.
