Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

So if 14% are over 65, and 320 residents are over 65, then we can say that 14% of the town is 320. Then, we can divide by 14 to find 1%, which is 22.857142857 Now we can multiply this by 100 to get 2285.7142857, which is the answer. To double check, you'd just find 14% of 2285.7142857 (multiply by 0.14) which is equal to 320. Because you can't have fractions of people, however, you'd have to round the answer up to 2286 people.

If that is too difficult to understand them hope this is easier

14% of the towns population is 320. Let P denote the towns population.

14/100 * P =320

14P/100 = 320

14P = 32000

divide both sides by 14

P = 2285.71

the towns population is 2286

Hope this helps!

Esmerelda bought a bag of jelly beans. There were 24 green jelly beans, which made up 8%, percent of all the jelly beans in the
Margarita [4]
So, let's look at the problem once again.

8%, or 8/100 of the bag were green jelly beans.

Let's see what we can do to find out a number of other jelly beans, not including the green ones.

We know that 92% of jelly-beans are not green.

92% is 11.5 times more than 8%
(92/8)

24 (or 8%) times 11.5 = 276

276 - number of jelly beans that are not green.

276 plus 24 = 300.

Answer: 300 jelly beans were in one bag.

If no (A) = 40%, no (B) = 30%, n (A∩B) = 20% then find n (<br> (A B)<br> using formula.
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

solution:-We know that for any two finite sets A and B, n(A∪B)=n(A)+n(B)−n(A∩B).

Here, it is given that n(A)=20,n(B)=30 and n(A∪B)=40, therefore,

n(A∪B)=n(A)+n(B)−n(A∩B)

⇒40=20+30−n(A∩B)

⇒40=50−n(A∩B)

⇒n(A∩B)=50−40

⇒n(A∩B)=10

Hence, n(A∩B)=10

Step-by-step explanation:

hope it helps you friend ☺️

Sari drives 55 miles per hour. Which equation shows the proportional relationship between hours (h) and miles (m)?
Finger [1]

Answer:

m=55h

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

Let

m ----> the distance in miles (y-coordinate)

h ----> the time in hours (x-coordinate)

In this problem the constant of proportionality k is given and is equal to

k=55\ \frac{miles}{hour} ----> the speed

substitute

m=55h
