Answer: 24%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are informed that the Girl Scout Troop started with 25 girls and at the end of the year party there were 31 girls. The percentage change will be:

= (31 - 25) / 25 × 100

= 6/25 × 100

= 24%

The error that Gabby made was that she used 31 as the base. This is expressed below:

= 31 - 25) / 31 × 100

= 6/31 × 100

= 19.4%

Mon wants to make 5 lbs of the sugar syrup. How much water and how much sugar does he need to make 75% syrup?

Julli [10]

Answer:

He needs 3.75 lbs of sugar and 1.25 lbs of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x lbs be the amount of sugar in the syrup. Then 5-x lbs is the amount of water in this syrup.

Note

5 lbs - 100%

x lbs - 75%

Write a proportion:

$\dfrac{5}{x}=\dfrac{100}{75}$

Cross multiply:

$100x=5\cdot 75\\ \\100x=375\\ \\x=\dfrac{375}{100}=3.75$

So, he needs 3.75 lbs of sugar and 5 - 3.75 = 1.25 lbs of water.

A garden has a circular border and a fountain in the center. I measured the distance from one side of the garden to the other, g

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The length of the border is approximately 4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the garden has a circular border we can apply the formula for the circle's length, which is shown below:

$length = 2*\pi*radius$

Where the radius is half the diameter. The diameter is the distance between two points in the circle going through the center, therefore for this garden the diameter is 1.2 feet and the radius is 0.6 feet. Applying this to the formula gives us:

$length = 2*\pi*0.6\\length = 1.2*\pi\\length = 3.8$

The length of the border is approximately 4 feet.

A student wants to compare textbook prices for two online bookstores. She takes a random sample of five textbook titles from a l

gregori [183]

Answer:

Dependent sample: The same textbook are being compared.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

A student wants to compare textbook prices for two online bookstores.

Sample 1 from bookstore A:

$115, $43, $99, $80, $119

Sample 2 from bookstore B:

$110, $40, $99, $69, $109

Dependent and independent sample:

Dependent samples are paired observations for same set of items.
Independent samples are observations made on two different sets of items.
If the values in one sample affect the observations in the other sample, then the samples are dependent.
If the values in one sample have no effect about those of the other sample, then the samples are independent.

Thus, the given sample is dependent sample as the same textbook is being compared from two different bookstore.
