Answer: 150 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of boys be x

Since there were 200 more girls than boys, the number of girls will be: = x + 200

Since the ratio of boys to girls was 3:7, this can be solved further below:

3/7 = x/x+200

Cross multiply

(7 × x) = 3(x + 200)

7x = 3x + 600

7x - 3x = 600

4x = 600

x = 600/4

x = 150

The number of boys enrolled is 150

Number of Girls will be:

= X + 200

= 150 + 200

= 350

Check: Number of boys / Number of girls

= 150/350

= 3/7

= 3:7

Please help quick will give brainliest

25t means "25 times t" where t is some unknown number. It is a placeholder for a number.

To find what the number is, we undo what is happening to t. So we divide both sides by 25 to undo the operation "multiply by 25"

----------

25*t = 1125

25*t/25 = 1125/25 divide both sides by 25

t = 45

---------

<h3>Answer: 45</h3>

As a check, we can plug t = 45 into the equation and we should get the same value on both sides

25*t = 1125

25*45 = 1125 replace every t with 45

1125 = 1125 the answer is confirmed
