Answer:
12 boys
Step-by-step explanation:
From the above question:
Number of boys = 3
Number of girls = 2
Boys: Girls
3:2
Let :
a = boys
b = girls
Hence, a : b = 3 : 2
a/b = 3/2
Cross Multiply
2a = 3b .......... Equation 1
a = 3b/2
If four more girls join the class, there will be the same number of boys and girls
Hence,
a: b + 4 = 3 : 3
a/b + 4 = 3/3
Cross Multiply
3a = 3(b + 4)
3a = 3b + 12 ........ Equation (2)
From Equation 1: a = 3b/2
Substitute 3b/2 for a in Equation 2 we have:
3a = 3b + 12 .........Equation 2
3(3b/2) = 3b + 12
9b/2 = 3b + 12
Cross Multiply
9b = 2(3b + 12)
9b= 6b + 24
9b - 6b = 24
3b = 24
b = 8
Substitute 8 for b in Equation 1
a = 3b/2
a = 3 × 8/2
a = 24/2
a = 12
Therefore, the number of boys in the class is 12
Answer:
1 5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
100% + 15% = 115% -> 1.15 (multiplier)

=$1322.50
Please make this answer the brainiest.
No because 3 time 4 is 12 and 5 minus 12 does not equal -3
Answer:
At 10:30 A.M.
Step-by-step explanation:
A college offers shuttle service from Dickson Hall or Lot B to its campus quad.
At 9:10 A.M the first shuttle leaves from their locations for the campus.
If the shuttles leave from Lot B every 10 minutes and leave from Dickson Hall every 12 minutes, then both the shuttles will leave their origin at the same time after 60 minutes.
This is because 60 is the smallest multiple of 10 and 12 which is common for them.
Therefore, 10:30 A.M. is the next time when both shuttles will depart for the campus at the same time. (Answer)
