Answer:
45 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
- Remark
- There are only 2 choices for gender. So if the class is 60% girls, the there must be 100 - 60 = 40% for the boys.
- But we are told that the boys are 30 in number.
- Let x = the total number of students.
Solution
- 40/100 * x = 30 Change the % to a decimal
- 0.4 x = 30 Divide both sides by 0.4
- 0.4 x / 0.4 = 30 / 0.4 Do the division
- x = 30/0.4
- x = 75 students in total
Formula
Total of Boys and Girls = Number of boys + number of girls.
Givens
- Total = 75
- Number of boys = 30
Solution II
- 75 = x + 30 Subtract 30 from each side
- 75 - 30 = x +30 - 30
- 45 = x
- There are 45 girls in the class.
Answer:
x = 56
Step-by-step explanation:
To start, distribute the 1/3 onto the x and the 4 in the parenthesis. That leaves you with
1/3x + 4/3 = 20
We want the x value by itself so we're going to subtract the 4/3 from the left and the right side, leaving us with
1/3x + 4/3 = 20 - 4/3
1/3x = 18 & 2/3 (since we're dealing with fractions, I'm going to change the 18 & 2/3 into an improper fraction just to make the next step easier.)
1/3x = 56/3
The last step is to divide the 1/3 off of the x, so x is by itself. To divide a fraction by a fraction, just flip the fraction you're dividing with and multiply.
56/3 x 3/1 = 56 (56 x 3 is 168, and 3 x 1 is 3, so when you reduce 168/3, you get 56)
So, 56 is our answer, because after dividing off the 1/3, we're left with x = 56
