Answer:

There are 12 white rats in the cage.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 : 4   The question says there are 16 rats in the cage. Meaning that 16 is the

<u>x4 x4</u> total. Since 4(from the ratio)x4 is 16. You would multiply 4 on both sides.

12 : 16

Meaning there are 12 white rats to 16 total rats.

Based on the subtraction property of equality: C. Correct. Jen could have also subtracted 100 from both sides and then divide both sides by -1/2.

<h3>What is the Subtraction Property of Equality?</h3>

In order to balance both sides of an equation, we can subtract same value from both sides by subtracting a value from both sides based on the subtraction property of equality. Same applies to other operations.

To balance both sides of the equation, 100 needs to be subtracted from the equation given. This means Jen was correct.

If she also divide both sides by -1/2, she would get same result as when she multiplies both sides by -2.

The correct description of the accuracy of her work is: C. Correct. Jen could have also subtracted 100 from both sides and then divide both sides by -1/2.

The cost of 2 jackets and 3 skirts was sh 1800. After the cost of a jacket and that of a skirt was increased by 20%,the cost of
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

New cost of jacket = 1.2x=1.2\times 600=720\ \text{sh}

New costs of skirt = 1.2y=1.2\times 200=240\ \text{sh}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let original cost of jacket = x

original cost of skirt = y

The equation will be

2x+3y=1800

New cost of jacket = 1.2x

New costs of skirt = 1.2y

The equation will be

6(1.2x)+2(1.2y)=4800\\\Rightarrow 7.2x+2.4y=4800

The equations are

2x+3y=1800  \times 0.8

7.2x+2.4y=4800

1.6x+2.4y=1440

7.2x+2.4y=4800

Subtracting the above two equations we get

-5.6x=-3360\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{3360}{5.6}\\\Rightarrow x=600

7.2\times 600+2.4y=4800\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{4800-7.2\times 600}{2.4}\\\Rightarrow y=200

New cost of jacket = 1.2x=1.2\times 600=720\ \text{sh}

New costs of skirt = 1.2y=1.2\times 200=240\ \text{sh}.
