A group of adults and students went on a class trip to Washington, DC. The number of male students was 1 more than 7 times the n

algol [13]

Alright.
So let's say the number of adults is x.
Therefore, the number of boys is 7x + 1.
And then the total amount of girls is 3.5x + 0.5
So then:
x + 7x + 1 + 3.5x + 0.5 = 82
11.5x + 1.5 = 82
11.5x = 80.5
x = 7
So now we can figure out the number of male and female students.
Male students = 7x + 1
7*7 + 1
49 + 1
50
Male Students = 50
Female students = half of 50
50/2 = 25
Female Students = 25

lutik1710 [3]

A 3-for-1 stock split means that the number of shares is multiplied by 3,
and becomes 900 shares.
Cost of one share before split: $\frac{23,400}{300}=\$78$
Cost of one share after split: $\frac{23,400}{900}=\$26$
Cost of 100 shares before split: $78\times100=7800$
Cost of 100 shares after split: $26\times100=2600$
The above sale result in loss of: $7800-2600=\$5200$
