Answer:

68

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

Number of girls invited = x

Number of boys = x +20

3/4 of boy showed up

2/3 of girls showed up

Exactly 19 did not show up

Therefore, we could say:

Fraction of boys that didn't show up = 1 - 3/4 = 1/4

Fraction of girls that didn't show up = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3

That is,

[1/4 *(x + 20)] + [1/3*x] = 19

[(x + 20) / 4] + x /3 = 19

(3(x + 20) + 4x) / 12 = 19

3x + 60 + 4x = 228

7x = 228 - 60

7x = 168

x = 168 / 7

x = 24

Number of girls, x = 24

Number of boys, x + 20 = 24 + 20 = 44

Total friends invited = (24 + 44) = 68

6. All angles in the figure below are right angles. What is the area of the figure? (1 point)
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Option (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the figure given in the picture = Area of large rectangle - Area of rectangle A

Area of rectangle A = Length × Width

                                 = [9 - (2 + 4)] × 3

                                 = 3 × 3

                                 = 9

Area of the large rectangle = Length × Width

                                             = 9 × 5

                                             = 45

Therefore, area of the given figure = 45 - 9

                                                          = 36

Option (4) will be the correct option.
