Answer:

52% are girls

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are 650 sixth-graders and 338 of them are girls, we are then asked to find the percentage of how many are girls.

We have the fraction 338 over 650 but need to reduce it.

To solve this, we need to find the GCF of 650 and 338, which is 26, so divide both the numerator and denominator by 26.

$\frac{338/26}{650/26}$

$\frac{13}{25}$

Now divide the 13 and 25 :

13 / 25 = 0.52

0.52 * 100 = 52%

Therefore, 52% of the sixth-graders in the school are girls

Answer: 52%

Step-by-step explanation:

338/650 and x/100 since we are trying to find a persentage, we have to make an proportion

338x100=33800 because we cross multiply

33800/650=52 because 33800 is now over 650

And 52 as a persentage is 52% which is how we get to our answer of 52%

I hope this helps

Answer:

Part a) The variables are

x (the number of packages of Twinkies that were sold)

y (the number o boxes of juice that were sold)

Part b) The system of equations is

$x+y=79$ and $1.65x+1.36y=118.17$

Part c) $x=37,y=42$

Part d) The value of y represent the number of boxes of juice that were sold $y=42\ boxes\ of\ juice$

The value of x represent the number of packages of Twinkies that were sold $x=37\ packages\ of\ Twinkies$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Define the variables in this situation

Let

x-----> the number of packages of Twinkies that were sold

y----> the number of boxes of juice that were sold

Part b) Write a system of equations that model the problem

we know that

$x+y=79$ ------> equation A

$1.65x+1.36y=118.17$ ---> equation B

Part c) Use the linear combination method to find the solution to the system you wrote in part b

Multiply equation A by -1.65

$-1.65(x+y)=-1.65*79$

$-1.65x-1.65y=-130.35$ ------> equation C

Adds equation C and equation B

$-1.65x-1.65y=-130.35\\1.65x+1.36y=118.17\\---------\\-1.65y+1.36y=-130.35+118.17\\-0.29y=-12.18\\y=42$

Find the value of x

$x+y=79$

$x+42=79$

$x=79-42=37$

Part d) Using a complete sentence, explain what the solution found in part c represents

The value of y represent the number of boxes of juice that were sold

$y=42\ boxes\ of\ juice$

The value of x represent the number of packages of Twinkies that were sold

$x=37\ packages\ of\ Twinkies$
