Answer:11

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys : girls=7:1

Sum of ratio=7+1=8

Let them number of girls be y

Then they number of boys=y+66

Total number of pupils=y+y+66

Total number of pupils=2y+66

Number of girls=(girls ratio)/(sum of ratio) x (total number of pupils)

y=1/8 x (2y+66)

Cross multiply

y x 8=2y + 66

8y=2y + 66

Collect like terms

8y-2y=66

6y=66

Divide both sides by 6

6y/6=66/6

y=11

The number of girls is 11

A parabola has vertex (2, 3) and contains the point (0, 0). find an equation that represents this parabola.
AfilCa [17]
First write it in vertex form :-

y= a(x - 2)^2 + 3    where a is some constant.

We can find the value of a  by substituting the point (0.0) into the equation:-

0  = a((-2)^2 + 3

4a = -3

a = -3/4

so our equation becomes  y =  (-3/4)(x - 2)^2 + 3

Dishwashers are on sale for 25% off the original price (d), which can be expressed with the function p(d) = 0.75d. Local taxes a
shutvik [7]

We are given the functions:

<span>P (d) = 0.75 d                                      ---> 1</span>

<span>C (P) = 1.14 P                                      ---> 2</span>

The problem asks us to find for the final price after discount and taxes applied; therefore we have to find the composite function of the two given functions 1 and 2. To solve for composite function of the final price of the dishwasher with the discount and taxes applied, all we have to do is to plug in the value of P (d) with variable d into the equation of C (P). That is:

C (P) = 1.14 (0.75 d)

C (P) = 0.855 d

or

<span>C [P (d)] = 0.855 d</span>
