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

Jason decided to look at new trucks. Jason found a used truck for 34,000 dollars. A new truck is 40,000 dollars so what percent
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Percent of rise of a new truck on a used truck  = 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the percentage of saved money if Jason buying a used truck.

Given:

Price of the used truck = $34,000

Price of the new truck = $40,000

We need to find the percent of rise Jason saves on a used truck rather than buying a new truck

Solution:

Using a percentage formula.

percentage\ cost = \frac{(100-x)}{100}\times Original\ cost

Substitute Percentage cost = 34,000 and Original cost = 40,000 in above formula.

34000 = \frac{(100-x)}{100}\times 40000

34000 = (100-x)\times 400                    (\frac{40000}{100}=400)

Using cross multiplication rule.

(100-x)=\frac{34000}{400}

85=100-x

x = 100-85

x = 15%

Therefore, Jason used 15% rise of a new truck for a used truck.
