Answer:

The total number of students are 250 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

24% of students buy there lunch, 190 students bring their lunch from home.

As the percentage is always be 100% .

Thus

Percentage students bring their lunch from home = (100 - 24 ) %

= 76 %

Formula

$Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{Total\ value}$

Percentage = 76%

Part value = 190

Put all the values in the formula

$76 = \frac{190\times 100}{Total\ value}$

$Total\ value= \frac{19000}{76}$

Total value = 250

Therefore the total number of students are 250 .

so we know that 24% of the students buy their lunch at the cafeteria, and 190 students brownbag.

well, 100% - 24% = 76%, so the remainder of the students, the one that is not part of the 24% is 76%, and we know that's 190 of them.

since 190 is 76%, how much is the 24%?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 190&76\\ x&24 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{190}{x}=\cfrac{76}{24}\implies 4560=76x \\\\\\ \cfrac{4560}{76}=x\implies 60=x \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{total amount of students}}{190+60\implies 250}$

Given right triangle ABC with altitude BD drawn to hypotenuse AC. If AC =16 and DC=5 what is the length of BC in the simplest ra

Nana76 [90]

The length of BC is $4 \sqrt{5}$ .

Solution:

Given ABC is a right triangle.

AC is the hypotenuse and BD is the altitude.

AB and BC are legs of the triangle ABC.

AC = 16 and DC = 5

<u>Leg rule of geometric mean theorem:</u>

$\frac{\text { hypotenuse }}{\text { leg }}=\frac{\text { leg }}{\text { part }}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{AC}{BC}=\frac{BC}{DC}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{16}{x}=\frac{x}{5}$

Do cross multiplication.

$\Rightarrow 16\times 5 = x\times x$

$\Rightarrow 80= x^2$

$\Rightarrow 16\times 5= x^2$

Taking square root on both sides.

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{16\times 5} = \sqrt{x^2}$

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{4^2\times 5} = \sqrt{x^2}$

square and square roots get canceled, we get

$\Rightarrow 4\sqrt{ 5} = x$

The length of BC is $4 \sqrt{5}$ .

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Discriminant Δ = √(8²-4×(1)×(4)) = √(48) = √(4×12) = √(4)×√(12) = 2√(12)

then x = (-8 ± 2√(12))÷2 = -4 ±√(12) = -4 ±√(3×4) = -4 ± 2√(3)

Anika [276]

Answer: 17

Steps:

1. Plug in (3) into “x” of the g(x) equation:
g(3) = (3)^2 + 4
g(3) = 9 +4
g(3) = 13

2. Plug in g(3) value into “x” of the f(x) equation:
f(g(3)) = x + 4
f(g(3)) = 13 + 4
f(g(3)) = 17
