Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

last year 1/5 of the class played sports, so s = (1/5) c

the next year, s increased by 5, c increased by 10 and the fraction changed to 1/4, so for the next year (s+5) = (1/4)(c+10)

To solve this we can substitute s = (1/5)c from the first equation into the second, so

((1/5)c + 5)=(1/4)(c+10), simplify both sides

(1/5)c + 5 = (1/4)c + 10/4, simplify 10/4 to 5/2

(1/5)c + 5 = (1/4)c + 5/2, multiply both sides by 20 to eliminate fractions (least common multiple of 2, 4 and 5)

4c + 100 = 5c + 50, subtract 4c, subtract 50 from both sides

50 = c, number of students in class last year was 50, this year is 10 more, so this year is 60

34kurt

Answer:

$1689

Step-by-step explanation:

Excess of rent amount over annual property tax bill = annual rent - annual property tax

annual property tax =  [(assessed property value / 100) x 1.69]

( $390,000 / 100) x 1.69 = $6591

Annual rent = $690 x 12 = $8280

$8280 - $6591 = $1689

Someone pls help! <br> write the expression in radical form. 2 4/5
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

  \sqrt[5]{2^4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Maybe you want 2^(4/5) in radical form.

The denominator of the fractional power is the index of the root. Either the inside or the outside can be raised to the power of the numerator.

  2^{\frac{4}{5}}=\boxed{\sqrt[5]{2^4}=(\sqrt[5]{2})^4}

__

In many cases, it is preferred to keep the power inside the radical symbol.
