You are right: the graph does not represent a proportion, because it does not go thru the origin.
Answer:
min = 24 LQ = 27 median = 32 UQ = 37 Max=44
You can solve this by using the system of equations.
Jan - 4.95 = 2H + 3C
Wayne - 5.45 = 3H + 2C
Use elimination.
-3(2H + 3C = 4.95)
2(3H + 2C = 5.45)
Solve. And you'll get:
-6H + (-9C) = -14.85
6H + 4C = 10.9
Cross out -6H and 6H because they cancel out. And you're left with:
-9C = -14.85
4C = 10.9
Add -9C with 4C, and -14.85 with 10.9.
-5C = -3.95
Divide each side with -5.
C = $0.79
Now to figure out what H is, just substitute the C in one of the equations with 0.79.
5.45 = 3H + 2(0.79)
5.45 = 3H + 1.58
-1.58 -1.58
3.87 = 3H
3.87/3 = 3/3(H)
1.29 = H
Finished!
Answer:
68
Step-by-step explanation:
Let:
Number of girls invited = x
Number of boys = x +20
3/4 of boy showed up
2/3 of girls showed up
Exactly 19 did not show up
Therefore, we could say:
Fraction of boys that didn't show up = 1 - 3/4 = 1/4
Fraction of girls that didn't show up = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3
That is,
[1/4 *(x + 20)] + [1/3*x] = 19
[(x + 20) / 4] + x /3 = 19
(3(x + 20) + 4x) / 12 = 19
3x + 60 + 4x = 228
7x = 228 - 60
7x = 168
x = 168 / 7
x = 24
Number of girls, x = 24
Number of boys, x + 20 = 24 + 20 = 44
Total friends invited = (24 + 44) = 68
