There are 472 girls and boys combined. Subtract 116 from 472, then split this number in half.

472-116=356

356÷2=178

This means that each group has 178 people, but the girls side has 178+116.

Therefore, there are 178 boys in the class.

What is the sum of 1.57 and 6.88?
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The answer would be B: 8 ones, 4 tenths, and 5 hundredths.

Explanation:

First, you would have to use the equation: 1.57 + 6.88 = ?

Do the math, and 1.57 + 6.88 = 8.45

Now look at the answer choices. You can automatically get rid of every answer choice but B because none of them have an 8 in the ones place.

You buy 3 shirts and 1 pair of pants for $32. Your friend buys 2 shirts and 3 pairs of pants for $40.
koban [17]

You buy 3 shirts and 1 pair of pants for $32. Your friend buys 2 shirts and 3 pairs of pants for $40. How much did each item cost?

 

First let’s define a shirt as X and pants as Y!

 

In the first scenario, the equation will be 3X + Y =$32

In the second scenario, the equation will be 2X + 3Y = $40  

 

Now because we have two different variables (X & Y) let’s solve for one of them (Ex: Y) to simplify the equations!

 

3X + Y= $32—> subtract 3X on both sides of the equation  

-3X.        - 3X

 

Net result: Y= 32- 3X

 

Now we can insert this into the second equation 2X + 3Y = $40 in order to solve for X variable  

 

2X + 3(32-3X) = $40

2X + 96 - 9X = $40 —> simplify the equation  

-7X + 96 = $40 —> substrate 96 from both sides  

-7X = -56 —> divide both sides by -7  

X= 8  

 

Now reinsert 8= X into 3X + Y = $32

3(8) + Y = $32

24+ Y = $32 —> substract 24 from both sides

y = 8

   

ANSWER: X= 8, Y= 8

If I am wrong I am sorry >_<
