A biased example: Asking students who are in line to buy lunch
An unbiased example: Asking students who are leaving/going to lunch(<em>NOT buying </em><em>lunch</em><em />).
But in this case, the answer choices can be... confusing.
Don't panic! You're given numbers and, of course, your use of logic.
Answer choice A: 100 students grades 6-8
Answer choice B: 20-30 students any <em>one</em> grade<em></em><em>
</em>Answer choice C: 5 students
<em></em>Answer choice D: 50 students grade 8
An unbiased example would be to choose students from <em>any grade.</em> So we can eliminate choices B and D.
Now, the question wants to <em>estimate how many people at your middle school buy lunch.</em> This includes the whole entire school, and if you are going to be asking people, you aren't just going to assume that if 5 people out of 5 people you asked bought lunch, the whole school buys lunch.
So, to eliminate all bias and/or error by prediction, answer choice A, the most number of students, is your answer.
Answer:
$742
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, you need to figure out what 6% of 700 dollars is and then add that to 700. The easiest way to find the percentage of a number is to set it up in the equation:
6/100 = x/700 where 6 is the percentage of 700 (out of 100 because you can only get up to 100 percent in this case) and x is 6 percent of 700. when you cross multiply, you get 100x = 4200. Then you divide both sides by 100 to get x by itself. This will give you x = 42 Add this to 700 for 742 as the total amount that will be paid. Sorry if this first half was a little confusing

Answer:
x=10, y=25
Step-by-step explanation:
First, in a trapezoid, the two angles on the same leg (the legs are the opposite sides that are not parallel) add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, 4y as well as (2y+3x) are supplementary. We can write this out as
4y + (2y+3x) = 180
6y+3x = 180
Next, the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, as the angles 2y, 4y, and (5x-20) make up a triangle, they add up to 180 degrees. We can write this as
4y + 2y + (5x-20) = 180
6y + 5x -20 =180
Our two equations are thus
6y + 5x - 20 = 180
6y + 3x = 180
If we subtract 6y from both sides in each equation, we can say
5x - 20 = 180-6y
3x = 180-6y
Therefore, we can write
5x-20 = 180-5y = 3x
5x-20=3x
subtract 3x from both sides to make all x variables on the same side
2x-20 = 0
add 20 to both sides to isolate the x and its coefficient
2x = 20
divide both sides by 2 to isolate x
x = 10
Therefore,
x = 10
6y + 3x = 180
6y + 30 = 180
subtract 30 from both sides to isolate the y and its coefficient
6y = 150
y = 25
