the gender of the kids does not matter so it can be discarded.
you add up how many boys and girls in the class to make a total of 50 kids
your 100% is 50
meaning 40% of 50 is 20
so if 20 kids took the bus to school then 30 did not take the bus.
5) So for parallelogram ABCD, ∠B ≅ ∠D, and ∠A ≅ ∠C. Further, ∠B and ∠A are supplementary (i.e., their sum is 180°), and ∠D and ∠C are also supplementary.
So, we have that m∠B = m∠D. Therefore,

Now, let's substitute for x back into the expression for either ∠B or ∠D to find it's angle measure.
m∠B =

Now, remember that ∠B or ∠D are supplements of ∠A.
So, m∠B + m∠A = 180°.
That means m∠A = 180° – 72° = 108°.
That seems reasonable, because A appears to be an obtuse angle.
Percentage by which the average value of mid sized car decreases each year = 8%
Retail value of a car today = v dollars
Amount of decrease in the value of the car after 1 year = (8/100) * v
= 2v/25 dollars
Then
The equation that represents the value of the car after 1 year = v - (2v/25) dollars
= (25v - 2v)/25 dollars
= 23v/25 dollars
So following this expression the value of the mid sized car can be easily determined after 1 year. I hope this is the answer you were looking for and the procedure is also clear to you.
