2/5 are girls, therefore 3/5 are boys
3/5 = 24
1/5 = 24 ÷ 3 = 8
2/5 = 8 x 2 = 16
Altogether = 16 + 24 = 40
24 - 1 6 = 8
There are 40 children altogether
There are 8 more boys than girls.
Flip 33/5

Answer:
Carl has 35 dimes and 90 quarters
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of quarters be q and the number of dimes be d
Total number of coins is 125;
Hence;
q + d = 125 •••••••••(i)
The total value of quarters present = q * 0.25 = 0.25q
The total value of dimes present = d * 0.1 = 0.1d
Adding both gives the total
0.25q + 0.1d =26 ••••••••(ii)
So we need to solve both equations simultaneously;
From i,
q = 125 - d
Substitute this into ii
0.25(125-d) + 0.1d = 26
31.25 -0.25d + 0.1d = 26
31.25 -26 = 0.25d -0.1d
5.25 = 0.15d
d = 5.25/0.15
d = 35
Recall; q = 125 - d = 125 -35 = 90
Answer:
Therefore Neither option A nor option B will allow them to meet their goal....
Step-by-step explanation:
The Polleys need to save $6,000 over 12 months.
After 7 months they discovered that they have saved $ 3,100 but in actual they have to save $3,500. It means $400 are short. Therefore for the remaining months they must save $6000-$3100 = $2900. They have to save 2900/5 = $580 each month.
According to the Option A The original amount was $500, in 5 months they will save 500*5 =$2500. They need total of $2900, which means $400 are short.
According to the Option B Increase savings each month by $100 from their original plan makes a total amount of $3000. This amount exceeds their goal.
Therefore Neither option A nor option B will allow them to meet their goal....
