Answer:

24 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this using simultaneous equations.

You know the number of boys plus the number of girls is 52, so b + g = 52.

You also know the number of boys is 6/7 the number of girls, so b = 6/7g

Then you can substitute this into the first equation - 6/7g + g = 52, so 13/7g = 52.

Solving that equation, 52 / 13/7 = 28, so there are 28 girls.

You then work out the number of boys by doing 52- the number of girls, so 52- 28 = 24 boys

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions :)

US$ 54000 is to be shared among Al, Bob and Chad in the ratio of 2: 3: 4. How much will Bob get?
Galina-37 [17]

Answer: If he gives Al 42, then he gives Bob 21 and Carl 84. Do those add up to 210? 42 + 21 + 84 = 147–that’s too small! Go bigger.

Step-by-step explanation:

So Since (D) is odd, shoot right to (E). If he gives Al 60, then he gives Bob 30 and Carl 120. Does that add up to 210? Yes, yes it does. 60 + 30 + 120 = 210.

A computer training institute has 625 students that are paying a course fee of $400. Their research shows that for every $20 red
Anastasy [175]
1.
If no changes are made, the school has a revenue of :

625*400$/student=250,000$

2.
Assume that the school decides to reduce n*20$.

This means that there will be an increase of 50n students.

Thus there are 625 + 50n students, each paying 400-20n dollars.

The revenue is: 

(625 + 50n)*(400-20n)=12.5(50+n)*20(20-n)=250(n+50)(20-n)

3.

check the options that we have, 

a fee of $380 means that n=1, thus 

250(n+50)(20-n)=250(1+50)(20-1)=242,250   ($)


a fee of $320 means that n=4, thus

 250(n+50)(20-n)=250(4+50)(20-4)=216,000    ($)


the other options cannot be considered since neither 400-275, nor 400-325 are multiples of 20.

Conclusion, neither of the possible choices should be applied, since they will reduce the revenue.
