Answer:

161 seniors

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the problem, given data are as follows:

Total number of sophomores = 300

Sophomores to junior ratio = 5:4

So, Number of Juniors = 300 ×  (4 ÷ 5)

= 240

Now, Juniors to senior ratio = 3:2

So, we can calculate the number of seniors by using following method:

Number of seniors = 240 × ( 2 ÷ 3)

= 240 × 0.67

= 160.8 or 161

stephen and bridget win some money and share it in the ratio 5:2. stephen gets £65. how much does bridget get
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Bridget will get the amount as £26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount Stephen gets = £65

Amount shared in ratio = 5:2

We need to find the amount Bridget gets.

Solution:

Let the common factor in the ratio be 'x'.

Amount Stephen gets = 5x

Amount Bridget gets = 2x

But we know that;

Amount Stephen gets = £65

so we can say that;

5x=65

Now dividing both side by 5 we get;

\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{65}{5}\\\\x=13

So now we get;

Amount Bridget gets = 2x=2\times 13 = \£26

Hence Bridget will get the amount as £26.

AleksAgata [21]
The problem says that the expression (3x + 5)(5x − 1) <span>represents the area of the floor of the building in square meters. Therefore,  to solve this problem you have to follow the proccedure shown below.

 1. First, to simplify the expression (3x + 5)(5x − 1) you must apply the distributive property. Then, you obtain:

 15x</span>²-3x+25x-5

 2. Then, you have:

 15x²+22x-5

 3. As you can see, the correct answer is the last option:  15x²+22x-5

A jewelry store purchases necklaces for n dollars each. The necklaces are then marked up by 20%, and costumers are charged 5% sa
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price = $n

Mark up price = selling price- cost price

= (20% × $n)

Selling price = $n + (20% × $n)

Sales tax = 5% × ($n + (20% × $n))

Total cost = selling price + sales tax

Total cost = $n + (20% × $n) + 5% × $n + (20% × $n)

= 1.2 × $n + 0.06 × $n

= 1.26 × $n.
