We can represent this situation by the equation 2x+4x+5x=33.

Then 11x=33, and x = 3.  

Then the children's ages are in the ratio 2x:4x:5x, or 2(3):4(3):5(3), or

6:12:15.

Do these 3 ages add up to 33?  6 + 12 + 15 = 33?  YES!

The children's ages are 6, 12 and 15 years respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the given ages be 2x , 4x and 5x.

Here,

2x + 4x +5x =33

or,x = 33/ 11

or,x =3

Hence,

2x =2 (3)=6years

4x=4(3)=12years

5x=5(3)=15years

Last year the backgammon club had 30 members this year the club has 24 members find the percent of decrease of members
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Percent Decrease = 20% Decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

To find percentage decrease, we will use a simple formula shown below:

Percentage Decrease/Increase = \frac{New-Old}{Old}*100

Where

New is the latest number of members (which is 24)

Old is the initial number of members (which is 30)

<em>Note: the multiplication by a factor of "100" brings the answer to a percentage</em>.

Now, lets substitute the numbers and figure out the percentage decrease:

\frac{New-Old}{Old}*100\\\frac{24-30}{30}*100\\\frac{-6}{30}*100\\-0.2*100\\-20

So, it comes to -20, which is a decrease of 20%

timofeeve [1]
The total number of packages completed was 41 and with 60 moustraps per package so 41 x 60 = 2460. Of these, 52 traps were from the previous shift and 34 were rejects so 2460-52-34 = 2374 produced + 24 in the last unsealed package = 2374 +24 = 2398.
