Answer:
It is always important to go through the given problem first to get a concept of the requiremement. Then all the information's available from the question has to be noted down in such a manner that there would be no need to look at the question while solving.
Total number of students wearing jeans = 10
Total number of students wearing shorts = 9
Total number of students wearing capris = 2
Then the total number of students surveyed by Mrs Lane = (10 + 9 + 2)
= 21
Now percentage of students wearing shorts = (9/21) * 100
= (3/7) * 100
= 300/7
= 42.85 percent
So a total percentage of 42.85% of the students were wearing shorts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: X = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
7x - 99 = 2x + 1 --Take 2x from both sides
-2x -2x
5x - 99 = 1 -- add 99 to both
+99 +99
5x = 100 --Divide by 5
÷5 ÷5
x = 20
The answer to that would be 0 because the line goes through the orgin witch the points are 0
Answer: the box contained 9 square chocolates and 15 round chocolates.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of square chocolates contained in the box.
Let y represent the number of round chocolates contained in the box.
The box of chocolates contains square chocolates, which weigh 10g each and round chocolates which weigh 8g each. The combined weight of all the chocolates is 210g. It means that
10x + 8y = 210- - - - - - - - - - -1
The number of round chocolates is 3 less than twice the number of square chocolates. It means that
y = 2x - 3
Substituting y = 2x - 3 into equation 1, it becomes
10x + 8(2x - 3) = 210
10x + 16x - 24 = 210
26x = 210 + 24
26x = 234
x = 234/26
x = 9
y = 2x - 3 = 2 × 9 - 3
y = 18 - 3
y = 15
