Answer:

There are 56 red gummy bears

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of green to red gummy bears is = 3 : 7

Total gummy bears = 80

We need to find how many gummy bears are red?

We can write it as:

3x : 7x

where x is the common ratio.

We can write:

Quantity of Green gummy bears = 3x

Quantity of Red gummy bears = 7x

Total Gummy bears = 80

So, 3x+7x = 80

10x = 80

x = 8

Now, finding quantity of Red gummy bears by putting x = 8

7x = 7(8) = 56

So, There are 56 red gummy bears

dexar [7]

Just plug in 3 for n and then 5 for n to see if an turns out to be 10 and 26.

n=3:
A) an = 8*3+10 = 34
B) an = 8*3 - 14 = 10 OK
C) an = 16*3+10 = 58
D) an = 16*3 - 38 = 10 OK

n=5:
B) an = 8*5-14 = 26 OK
D) an = 16*5 - 38 = 42

So the answer is B

Answer:

c) (40+60+25)/200 or 63%

Step-by-step explanation:

n= 200 students

Did Well on the Midterm and Studied for the Midterm = 75

Did Well on the Midterm and Went Partying = 40

Did Poorly on the Midterm and Studied for the Midterm = 25

Did Poorly on the Midterm and Went Partying = 60

The number of students that did poorly on the midterm or went partying the weekend before the midterm is given by the sum of all students who did poorly to all students who went partying minus the number of students who did Poorly on the Midterm and Went Partying:

$N=(25+60)+(40+60) - 60\\N= 125$
