In a recent year, 31% of all college students were enrolled part-time. If 8.6 million college students were enrolled part-time t

Ronch [10]

Answer:

28 million college students.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can represent all college students as x. This means that all part-time college students are $\frac{31}{100}x$ . Because all part-time college students are also equal to 8.6 million, we have $8,600,000=\frac{31}{100}x$ . To find the number of total college students, or x, we have to multiply by 100/31 to get rid of the fraction on the other side:

$8,600,00\cdot\frac{100}{31}=x$

The left side of the equation evaluates as $27,741,935.5$ . Because we are asked to round to the nearest million, we have to round to 28 million, which is the closest.

Jim had some dimes, quarters, and nickels. First, he counted only the dimes and quarters and found that he had 9 coins. Then, he

Olegator [25]

Answer:

$1.90

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the numbers of nickels, dimes and quarters by n, d and q.

Then: d + q = 9, or q = 9 - d.

Also, n + d = 10

Lastly, n + d + q = 15.

Let's substitute 9 - d for q in the equation immediately above:

n + d + (9 - d) = 15, or n + 9 = 15. Then n must be 6.

In summary, Jim has 6 nickels, (10 - 6) dimes and (9 - 4) quarters, or:

6 nickels, 4 dimes and 5 quarters

Thus, he has 5($0.05) + 4($0.10) + 5($0.25), or

$0.25 + $0.40 + $1.25, or $1.90

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

0.31

Step-by-step explanation:

So if you divide 31 by 100 all you have to do is move the decimal from right to left the number of zeros you have. Here we have 2 zeros so we move from right to left twice.
