Step-by-step explanation: Ok so if there are 90 girls and 7 are left handed u  use this method 6/90 multiply by 100 and u get 7.77%

Radda [10]3 years ago

Answer:

6%

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. 90 + 60 = 150
  2. 7 + 2 = 9
  3. Set up a proportion: \frac{9}{150} = \frac{x}{100}  
  4. Cross multiply, then divide: 9 × 100 = 900, 900 ÷ 150 = 6
  5. So, 6% of students in 6th grade were left-handed

I hope this helps!

QUESTION 1

The given system of equations is

3d - e = 7...eqn(1)
d + e = 5...eqn(2)

To solve by linear combination, we add equation (1) to equation (2) to get,

3d  + d= 7 + 5


4d = 12


We divide through by 4 to obtain,


d =  \frac{12}{4}


d = 3


We put d=3 into equation (2) to get,



3+ e = 5


e = 5 - 3


e = 2


\boxed {The \: solution \: is  \: (3, 2)}



QUESTION 2


The given system is

4x + y = 5 ...eqn(1)

3x + y = 3 ...eqn(2)


To solve by linear combination, we subtract equation (2) from equation (1) to eliminate y from the equation.

This will give us,

4x - 3x = 5 - 3



This implies that,

x = 2


Put x=3 into equation (1) to get,

4(2) + y = 5

8+ y = 5


y = 5 - 8



y =  - 3

The solution is

(2,-3)



QUESTION 3

We want to solve the system;


a – 2b = –2 ....eqn(1)


2a + 2b = 14...eqn(2)

by linear combination.


We need to add equation (1) to equation (2) to eliminate b.


This implies that,

2a + a = 14 +  - 2




Simplify,

3a = 12



Divide both sides by 3 to get,


a = 4
Put a=4 into equation (2) to obtain,



2(4) + 2b = 14


8 + 2b = 14
2b = 14 - 8


2b = 6


b = 3


The ordered pair in the form (a, b) is

(4,3)



QUESTION 4

The given system of equations is


11x + 4y = 18 ...eqn(1)

3x + 4y = 2 ...eqn(2)


We subtract equation (2) from equation (1) to get,


11x - 3x = 18 - 2


8x = 16


x = 2


Put x=2 into equation (2) to obtain,


3(2) + 4y = 2


This implies that,


6 + 4y = 2


4y = 2 - 6


4y =  - 4


y=-1

The correct answer is (2,-1).




QUESTION 5

The given system is ;

2d + e = 8...eqn1

d – e = 4...eqn2


We add the two equations to eliminate e.


This implies that,

2d + d = 8 + 4


3d = 12



We divide both sides by 3 to get,


d = 4


We put d=4 into equation (2) to get,

4 - e = 4

- e = 4 - 4



- e = 0



e = 0


The solution is

(4,0)

Assume the average cost of maintaining a dog is the same from month to month. After 55 months, the dog had cost you a total of $
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Originally, you will <em>pay</em> $95.75 for the dog.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Maintenance cost of dog after 55 months =  $5,468.50

Maintenance cost of dog  after 82 months = $8,053.75

To Find:

How much did you pay for the dog originally = ?

Solution:

It is stated that the maintenance cost is same from month to month

Now 82 - 55 =  27 months

For 27 we have paid

$8,053.75 - $5,468.50

$2585.25

But one month the amount paid will be

\frac{2585.25}{27}

<h3>=>95.75</h3>
