Answer: See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Your question isn't complete but let's help out by giving some values to the question.
Let's say there are 230 students in a school. This number is 15% more than it was last year. Calculate the number of students last year.
Let the number of students last year be x.
Since there's a 15% increase, this implies that (100% + 15%) = 115% of x equals to 230. This will be:
115% of x = 230
115% × x = 230
115/100 × x = 230
1.15x = 230
x = 230/1.15
x = 200
There were 200 students last year.
Just assign the missing values and use the above method and you'll get your answer.
Answer:
3 bars
Step-by-step explanation:
Total no. of gold bars = 24.
Fraction of bar captain allocated to himself = 1/3 of the bars
no. of bars he allocated to himself = 1/3 of 24 = 1/3 * 24 = 8
Fraction of bar captain allocated to his friend bill = 1/4 of the bars
no. of bars he allocated to his friend bill = 1/4 of 24 = 1/4 * 24 = 6
No . of bars captain allocated to rest of crew = 7
Total no of bars which are allocated altogether =
no. of bars he allocated to himself +no. of bars he allocated to his friend bill +No . of bars captain allocated to rest of crew
substituting the value of above summation variable as calculated above we have
Total no of bars which are allocated altogether = 8+6+7 = 21
No. of bars left = total no. of bars - Total no of bars which are allocated altogether = 24 - 21 = 3
Thus 3 gold bars are left.
