Hey there!

When dealing with percent word problems, the word "is" means equals. Let's see what we can do with your problem.

If the small school had 60% boys, it will have 40% girls. The number of boys <em>is</em> 48, which should equal 60% of the total, which we can model below, with t representing the total number of kids. In decimal form, 60% is 0.6.

0.6t=48

We divide both sides by 0.6.

t=80

Therefore, there are 80 total kids at the school.

We can also check our answer below.

BOYS: 0.6(80)= 48

GIRLS: 0.4(80)=32

48+32=80

I hope that this helps!

Answer:

To find the answers, all I have to do is apply the operations (plus, minus, times, and divide) that they tell me to, in the order that they tell me to.

(f + g)(x) = f (x) + g(x)

= [3x + 2] + [4 – 5x]

= 3x + 2 + 4 – 5x

= 3x – 5x + 2 + 4

= –2x + 6

(f – g)(x) = f (x) – g(x)

= [3x + 2] – [4 – 5x]

= 3x + 2 – 4 + 5x

= 3x + 5x + 2 – 4

= 8x – 2

(f  × g)(x) = [f (x)][g(x)]

= (3x + 2)(4 – 5x)

= 12x + 8 – 15x2 – 10x

= –15x2 + 2x + 8

\left(\small{\dfrac{f}{g}}\right)(x) = \small{\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}}(

g

f

)(x)=

g(x)

f(x)

= \small{\dfrac{3x+2}{4-5x}}=

My answer is the neat listing of each of my results, clearly labelled as to which is which.

( f + g ) (x) = –2x + 6

( f – g ) (x) = 8x – 2

( f  × g ) (x) = –15x2 + 2x + 8

\mathbf{\color{purple}{ \left(\small{\dfrac{\mathit{f}}{\mathit{g}}}\right)(\mathit{x}) = \small{\dfrac{3\mathit{x} + 2}{4 - 5\mathit{x}}} }}(

The amount of protein a person needs each day is proportional to his or her weight. Rod weighs 165 pounds and needs 60 grams of
lukranit [14]
The equation for this would be: \frac{60}{165}=  \frac{x}{220}. first you want to multiply 60 by 220, then divide the product by 165.  60 times 220 is 13,200.  Now divide 13,200 by 165.  This will give you 80.  Todd has to eat 80 grams of protein each day to stay healthy.

Can someone explain how to do this please?
Rufina [12.5K]

for the columns where is less than or equal zero, use the first line of the function to calculate the value of f(x)

{ ( \frac{1}{3} ) }^{ - 2} - 1  = 9 - 1 = 8 \\ { ( \frac{1}{3} ) }^{ - 1}  - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2 \\ { ( \frac{1}{3} ) }^{ 0} - 1  = 1 - 1 = 0

for every x greater than zero, use the second line to determine the value

{3}^{1}  - 2 = 3 - 2 = 1 \\ {3}^{2}  - 2 = 9 - 2 = 7

hope this helps and gives some insight what to do.

if there are open questions left, feel free to ask them in the comments

have a beautiful day
