Total number of seniors = 55 + 70 = 125
Number of seniors who plan to go to college = 55
Percentage of seniors who plan to go to college = 55/125 x 100 = 44%
Answer: 44%
3(a+b) and 3a+b: not equivalent
4(x+2y) and 8y+4x: equivalent
Set up a proportion: 25/100 = 50/n where n = # of teens surveyed
Simplify fraction: 1/4 = 50/n
Cross multiply: n = 200
So 200 teens were surveyed.
To solve for the time an object takes to hit the ground, the equation
<em>y</em> <em>= y₀ + v₀t + ½gt²</em>, or just <em>0 = y₀ +½gt²</em> since there is no initial velocity and the final y position is 0 (since it is on the ground). Therefore, <em>t = (−2y₀/g)^½.</em>
(-2*60/-9.8)^½ = 3.50 seconds.
