3:2=5
so girls are 2:5
set up the proportion
2/5=x/9
5x=18
x=3.6 girls; doesn’t work so no!

another way you can look at it is because there are 3 boys for every 2 girls, add 2 more girls, you’ll get 3 more boys
that makes the total of 10 people so 9 is impossible

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Discount percentage is 16.4% for the customers who purchase 6- coupon book .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Discount\ percentage = \frac{Discount\times 100}{Original charge of the oil change for 6 times}

As given

Your station charges $15.95 for an oil change.

Original charge of the oil change for 6 times = 6 × Original charge for oil change .

                                                                          = 6 × 15.95

                                                                          = $ 95.7

As a promotion you sell six coupons for oil changes for $80.

Discount = Original charge of the oil change for 6 times - Charge by six coupons for oil changes .

               = $95.7 - $80

               = $ 15.7

Putting all the values in the above

Discount\ percentage = \frac{15.7\times 100}{95.7}

Discount\ percentage = \frac{15700\times 10}{957\times 10}

Discount\ percentage = \frac{15700}{957}

Discount percentage = 16.4%

Therefore the discount percentage is 16.4% for the customers who purchase 6- coupon book .

What is the value of x
lora16 [44]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines have angles that are equal to 180. Therefore, because we already have 140 of the 180 necessary, we can subtract 140 from 180 to get 40. 40 divided by 5 is 8.

Hope that this helps!
