Answer:

24 boys & 20 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Last year:

Number of boys = x

Total number = 45

Number of girls = 45 - x

An increase of 20% is the same as multiplying by 1.2

A decrease of 10% is the same as multiplying by 0.8

This year:

New number of boys: 1.2x

New number of girls: 0.8(45 - x)

New total number = 45 - 1 = 44

1.2x + 0.8(45 - x) = 44

1.2x + 36 - 0.8x = 44

0.4x + 36 = 44

0.4x = 8

x = 20

Last year there were 20 boys and 25 girls.

This year there are 20 * 1.2 = 24 boys

and 44 - 24 = 20 girls

Answer: 24 boys & 20 girls

Rob notices that 55 percent of the people leaving the supermarket chhose plastic bags instead of paper bags. out of 600 people,
Temka [501]
To solve this answer, you are trying to find 55% of 600, because that is the number of people who chose plastic bag.

55% can be re-written as 55/100 OR 0.55 since percentages are always out of 100.

So, we do 0.55*600, which gives us 330. 330 people carry plastic bags.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

b(a + 1) + a = b*a + b + a = ab + b + a

1) b(2a +1 ) = b*2a + b*1 = 2ab + b  Not equivalent.

2)a + (a +1)*b = a + ab+ b     Equivalent

3) (a +1)(b+ a) = a*(b +a) + 1*(b+a) = ab+ a² +b + a  Not equivalent.

4) (a + 1)b + a = ab+ b + a   Equivalent

5) a + b(a+1) = a +ab + b Equivalent

6) a + (a +1) + b = a + a + 1 + b = 2a + 1 +b  Not equivalent.

7) a(b +1) + b = ab + a + b  Equivalent
