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

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

8000

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of floor=25×20m

=500²

Area of each tile=area if each rhombus

=25×25=625cm²

No. of tiles required= area of floor/ area of each tile

=500×104⁴/ 625

=4/5 ×10×1000

=8000

The members of a high school band asked a number of students whether they would like blue, gold, or both for the uniforms for th
MaRussiya [10]

The values of a and b are a = 33% and b = 43% ⇒ last answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The venn-diagram contains:

  • A circle labeled blue 32
  • A circle labeled gold 25
  • The two circles are overlap with label 12 on the overlap

The table:

→ Band  :  blue  :  N.b  : total

→ gold   :  16%   :  a      :  49%

→ N.g     :  b       :  8%   :  51%

→ Total  :  59%  :  41%  :  100%

We need to find the values of a and b

From the table

16% represents the percentage of blue and gold uniforms (2nd row with 2nd column)

From venn-diagram

The common part of blue and gold label with 12 (overlap of two circles)

∴ 16% of the total number of students = 12

∵ 16% × x = 12

∴ \frac{16}{100} × x = 12

∴ 0.16 x = 12

- Divide both sides by 0.16

∴ x = 75

∵ x represents the total number of students

∴ The total number of students were asked is 75

From the table

b represents the percentage of blue but not gold uniforms (3rd row and 2nd column)

From venn-diagram

The part that has blue and not gold labeled with 32 (the part of the blue circle not in the gold circle)

∴ 32 of the total number of students like the blue but not gold

- Divide 32 by the total 75 , then multiply the quotient by 100%

   to find the percentage of blue but not gold

∴ b = \frac{32}{75} × 100% = 42.6666%

∴ b ≅ 43%

From the table

a represents the percentage of gold nut not blue uniforms (2nd row and 3rd column)

From venn-diagram

The part that has gold and not blue labeled with 25 (the part of the gold circle not in the blue circle)

∴ 25 of the total number of students like the gold but not blue

- Divide 25 by the total 75 , then multiply the quotient by 100%

   to find the percentage of gold but not blue

∴ a = \frac{25}{75} × 100% = 33.3333%

∴ a ≅ 33%

The values of a and b are a = 33% and b = 43%

To check your answer complete the table you will find the total of it is 100% ( for the columns 16% + 43% = 59% , 33% + 8% = 41% , then 59% + 41% = 100%, for the rows 16% + 33% = 49% , 43% + 8% = 51% , then 49% + 51% = 100%)
