Answer:

a) 35,  b) 25,  c) 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of girls is 10 more than the number of boys, so it's a good thing to choose a variable to represent the number of boys.

Number of boys:  b

Number of girls:  b + 10

Ratio of girls:boys is 7:5, so

\frac{b+10}{b}=\frac{7}{5}

"Cross multiply" to get

7b=5(b+10)\\7b=5b+50\\2b=50\\b=25

There are 25 boys.  There are 10 more girls, so the number of girls is 35, and the total number of students is 60.

That's a packed classroom!

lora16 [44]

Answer:

Total revenue = 13.5 + 9 = $22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The toll charges $1.00 for passenger cars and $2.25 for other vehicles. During daytime hours  60% of all the vehicles are passenger vehicles.

A particular daytime period 15 vehicle crossed the bridge. Recall that during daytime period, 60% of all the vehicles are passenger vehicles . Therefore,

Passenger vehicles = 60% of 15

Passenger vehicles = 60/100 × 15

Passenger vehicles = 900/100

Passenger vehicles = 9

9 of the vehicles are passenger vehicle and the charges for passenger cars is $1.00. other vehicle is $2.25.

revenue for passenger cars = 1 × 9 = $9

revenue for other vehicles = 2.25 × 6 = $13.5

Total revenue = 13.5 + 9 = $22.5

PLEASE HELP ME IN MATH IM CONFUSED
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

the second choice is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = \frac{3}{4} x - 9 is in this form

with slope m = \frac{3}{4}

• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence

y = \frac{3}{4} x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line

To find c substitute (- 8, - 18) into the partial equation

- 18 = - 6 + c ⇒ c = - 18 + 6 = - 12

y = \frac{3}{4} x - 12 ← equation of parallel line
