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

I don't understand the first one.

Basically the question is asking if the proportions for the dimensions of the 2 rugs are the same, so in this case yes, since 6 X 8 can be written as 3 X 4 which if you set up a fraction you can easily multiply both the top and bottom number by 3 to get 9 X 12.

a cd usally sells for 17.00 if the CD is 30% off and the sales tax is 8% what is the total price of the CD including tax
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

$12.85

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the sale price of the CD

Sale price = old price - old price * discount rate

                 = 17 - 17* .3

                 = 17 - 5.1

                 = 11.9

The sale price of the CD is 11.90

Now we need to find the tax

tax = sale price of cd * tax rate

      = 11.9 * .08

      = .95


The final cost of the CD is  sale price of CD plus the tax

Total cost = sale price of CD + tax

                 = 11.90 + .95

                    =12.85

solve each equation. Round your answers to the nearest ten-thousandth. Show your work please. Part 2A​
Reika [66]

Answer:

16. x = 3.0822, -3.0822

17. x = 1.6432, -1.6432

18. x = 1, -1

Step-by-step explanation:

16. log5[(4x²+2)/8] = 1

(4x²+2)/8 = 5¹

4x² + 2 = 40

4x² = 38

x² = 38/4

x² = 19/2

x = +/- sqrt(19/2)

x = 3.0822, -3.0822

17. log7[(2x²-4)(5)] = 1

10x² - 20 = 7¹

10x² = 27

x² = 2.7

x = +/- sqrt(2.7)

x = 1.6432, -1.6432

18. log5[(2x²+8)/2] = 1

x² + 4 = 5¹

x² = 1

x = +/-1
