Answer:

38 women

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 9 (1 point)

In the middle school PTA there is a total of 47 men and women. The number of women the PTA is 2 more than four times the number of men. How many women are in the

PTA?

Let the number of men = x

Let the number of women = y

x + y = 47

y = 2 + 4x

We substitute

x + 2 + 4x = 47

Collect like terms

5x = 47 - 2

5x = 45

x = 45/5 = 9

y = 2 + 4x

y = 2 + 4 × 9

y = 2 + 36

y = 38

Therefore, the number of women = y = 38 women

The petrol tank at the local service station has a capacity of 6000L. It is 66.06 percent full. How many litres of petrol are ne

Rina8888 [55]

Since the tank is 66.06% full, it is (100 - 66.06) = 33.94% empty.

Its capacity is 6,000L. So, in order to fill it to capacity, the service station
must order 33.94% of 6,000L .

33.94% = 0.3394
"of" means "times"

0.3394 x 6,000L = 2,036.4 liters needed, to fill the tank to the rim.
