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

To make a specific hair dye, a hair stylist uses a ratio of 1 1/8 oz of red tone, 3/4 oz of gray
nadezda [96]

Answer:

We can call the amounts of red, gray, and brown dye 1 1/8x, 3/4x and 5/8 x respectively and we can write the equation:

1 1/8x + 3/4x + 5/8x = 20

2 1/2x = 20

x = 8 which means that the stylist needs 1 1/8 * 8 = 9 oz red, 3/4 * 8 = 6 oz gray and 5/8 * 8 = 5 oz brown.
