Given:
15% of its height each day
27 inches on day 10.
How tall was it yesterday?
27 represents 115% of the height yesterday. So we divided 27 by 115% to get yesterdays height.
27 ÷ 115% = 23.48 inches.
The plant was 23.48 inches tall yesterday.
To check:
23.48 x 15% = 3.52 inches
23.48 + 3.52 = 27 inches
Its 872 when the integer goes down
1-5/8=3/8
If he had 5/8 leftover, then he used 3/8.
Number of boys enrolled is 105
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, At a local preschool there is s as ratio of 3 boys to every 4 girls
There are 245 total preschoolers
Ratio of boys and girls = 3 : 4
Number of boys : number of girls = 3 : 4
Let the number of boys be 3x
Let the number of girls be 4x
Total number of preschoolers = 245
Therefore,
number of boys + number of girls = 245
3x + 4x = 245
7x = 245
x = 35
Number of boys = 3x = 3(35) = 105
Thus number of boys is 105
