Given:
Number of students = 35
Two out of every five boys in the club are boys.
To find:
The number of students in the club that are boys.
Solution:
Two out of every five boys in the club are boys. It means, the ratio of boys to the total number of student is 2:5.
Let the number of boys be 2x and number of students be 5x.
According to the question,
Now, the number of boys is
Therefore, 14 students in the club are boys.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total number of coins (Quarters and dimes) = 60
Total amount = $12.45
To find:
The number of quarters and dimes.
Solution:
Let x be the number of quarters and y be the number of dimes.
We know that,
1 quarter = 0.25 dollar
1 dime = 0.10 dollar
Total coins: ...(i)
Total amount: ...(ii)
From (i), we get
...(iii)
Putting this value in (ii), we get
Divide both sides by 0.15.
Putting x=43 in (iii), we get
So, the number of quarters is 43 and the number of dimes is 17.
Therefore, the correct option is b.
