A.)
original/ new-original = x/100
118,000/138000-118,000= x/100
118000/20000= x/100
118/20=x/100
20x=11800
11800/20=590
The population increased 590%
Answer:
Answer is 154
Step-by-step explanation:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of students (32) corresponds to the total number of ratio units (3+5 = 8), so each ratio unit represents 32/8 = 4 students.
The 3 ratio units representing boys will stand for 3×4 = 12 boys.
The 5 ratio units representing girls will stand for 5×4 = 20 girls.
There are 12 boys and 20 girls in Janice's classroom.

I find the above solution to be the easiest.
You can also write a system of equations. Let b and g represent the numbers of boys and girls, respectively.
b/g = 3/5
b +g = 32
Multiplying the first equation by g gives an expression for b that can be substituted into the second equation:
b = (3/5)g
(3/5)g +g = 32
8/5g = 32 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
g = (5/8)(32) = 5·4 = 20 . . . . . . multiply by 5/8
b = (3/5)(20) = 3·4 = 12 . . . . . . . find b using the value of g
Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.
<span><span><span>
a − 8 </span>+ 15 </span>> <span>23
</span></span>Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.
<span><span><span><span><span>
−1/</span>8</span>a </span>+ 15 </span>> 23
</span>
Step 2: Subtract 15 from both sides.
<span><span><span><span><span><span>

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 8/(-1).

a < <span>−<span>64
Therefore, the answer is a < -64! I hope this helped! :)</span></span></span>
You can prove that a=5, b=3, 5=3+2 and a=b+2.
