Answer:

The number of boys are 18 and the number of girls are 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of number of girls to the boys = 3 : 5

Let the number of girls is g and boys is b initially.

b : g = 3 : 5

5 b = 3 g ..... (1)

Now, girls are 6 + g and boys are b - 9

So, the ratio is

(b - 9) : (6 + g) = 1 : 4

4 b - 36 = 6 + g

4 b - g = 42 .... (2)

From ( 1 ) and ( 2 )

4 b - \frac {5 b}{3}= 42\\\\\frac{7 b }{3} = 42\\\\b = 18

And , g = 5 x 18/3 = 30

So, the number of boys are 18 and the number of girls are 30.

A desk is on sale for $380 which is 20% of the original price. Which equation can be used to determine the amount of money saved
elena-s [515]

Answer:

S = 380 - 380*80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • The original price of the desk: $380
  • Discount: 20%

So, the new price of the desk after discounting is:

380(100% - 20%)

= 380*80%

= 304$

The amount of money saved: 380 - 304 = 76$

Hence, the equation can be used to determine the amount of money saved is:

Saving = 380 - 380*80%

Hope it will find you well.

Maggie's brother is three years younger than twice her age. The sum of their ages is 24 how old is maggie?
Vanyuwa [196]

The variable for Maggie will be M and 2x-3 be her younger brothers age (<u>Twice her age). </u>We then would turn this into <u>an algebraic problem</u>. (m+2x -3=24).

3x-3=24, we would add 3 to both sides (-3 and 24). 24 + 3 equals 27, we now have to divide -3x and 27 on both sides, which equals <u>9. (x=9)</u>
