Question

I NEED HELP ASAP PLEASEEEEE!!!!! ONLY ON 9a ND 9b!!!!!!

Answer 1

9A:

The problem says 35% of the 3560 applications are from boys who lived in other states.

This can be expressed as:

3560*35% = 3560*0.35 = 1246 applications.

9B:

The problem says applications to the university (3560 applications) represented 40% of all applications.

This can be expressed as:

3560 = 40% * A, where A = number of applications received in all.

To find how many applications received in all, just solve for A.

A = 3560 / 0.4 = 8900 applications.

The key to these types of problems is that "of" signals multiplication. For example, 40% of all applications is 40% * all applications.
