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!

Write an expression to represent the perimeter of:
malfutka [58]

So perimeter is adding all sides

In this picture, you have all sides, so add them up!

(2a-3)+(3a+1)+(2a) = P

So this expression shows that we're adding all sides that gives us the P, or perimeter :)

If triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEC, find the values of x and y.
Mumz [18]

The values are x=8 and y=35, if the given ΔABC and ΔDEC are equal, it is obtained by Pythagoras theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given are,

           From ΔABC,

                    AB= 6

                    BC= 10

                    AC = x

           From ΔDEC,

                    CD= 28

                    DE= 21

                    CE = y

Step:1

        Pythagoras theorem from  ΔABC,

                    BC^{2}=AB^{2} + AC^{2}...............(1)

       Substitute the values,

                   10^{2} = 6^{2} + AC^{2}

                  100 = 36 + AC^{2}

                   AC^{2} = 100 - 36

                           = 64

                    AC = \sqrt{64}

                    AC = 8

                  AC = x = 8

Step:2

        Pythagoras theorem for ΔDEC,

               CE^{2} = CD^{2}  + DE^{2}................(2)

       From the values,

              CE^{2} = 28^{2} + 21^{2}

             CE^{2} = 784 + 441

                     = 1225

              CE = \sqrt{1225}

              CE = 35

             CE = y = 35

Result:

         The values are x=8 and y=35, if the given ΔABC and ΔDEC are equal.
