Answer: 25 bikes and 55 cars were used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent number of bicycles that the students ride to school.

Let c represent number of cars that the students drive to school.

At Billy's school, 80 students come to school by bike or car. It means that

b + c = 80

A bike has 2 wheels. A car has 4 wheels. Together the vehicles that arrive at the school have 270 wheels. It means that

2b + 4c = 270- - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting b = 80 - c into equation 1, it becomes

2(80 - c) + 4c = 270

160 - 2c + 4c = 270

- 2c + 4c = 270 - 160

2c = 110

c = 110/2

c = 55

b = 80 - c = 80 - 55

b = 25

the coordinates of a pentagon ABCDE are A(-5,4),B (1,4),C(1,-1), D(-2,-5) and E(-5,-1) what is the perimeter of the pentagon
kogti [31]
Perimeter is a continuous line forming the boundary of a closed geometrical figure. perimeter of a pentagon = AB+BC+CD+DE+EA (that is 5 sided figure) 
so my plan is easy but effective, calculate all those distances using those coordinates with the aid of distance formular. then you add those distances algebraically .

What is 9% of 42 pls help fast!
joja [24]

Answer:

3.78

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 9 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=9$.

Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=42$.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

$100\%=9(1)$.

$x\%=42(2)$.

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{9}{42}$

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{42}{9}$

$\Rightarrow x=466.67\%$

Therefore, $42$ is $466.67\%$ of $9$.
