750 of the 900 students in the school own pets

If 5 of 6 students own a pet ;
The Fraction of pet owners out of the students can be represented as a fraction = 5/6

Hence, 5/6 of the students have pets

Total number of students = 900

Total number who own pets :
Total × (fraction who own pets)
900 × (5/6) = 750

Therefore, 750 students own pets.

Margaret [11]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Cost of hiring the bicycle for 14 days is:

Cost = 65 * 14 days + 44 = 954 riyals

b) The number of days the bicycle is hired is to be the same as the number of days the bicycle is to be hired. Let us assume that the bicycle and helmet is to be hired for x days, hence:

Cost of bicycle = 65 * x + 14 = 65x + 44

Cost of helmet = 12.5 * x = 12.5x

Total cost = 65x + 44 + 12.5x = 77.5x + 44

Since 750 riyals is available, hence:

750 = 77.5x + 44

77.5x = 706

x = 9.11

Therefore the maximum number of days is 11. The total cost for 11 days is:

Total cost = 77.5(9) + 44 = 741.5 riyals

Money not spent = 750 riyals - 741.5 riyals = 8.5 riyals

Valentin [98]

Answer:she made 12 two points basket.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of baskets that were worth two points.

Let y represent the number of baskets that were worth three points.

Anaya makes 14 baskets during her game.

This means that

x + y = 14

Some of these baskets were worth two points and others were worth three points. In total she scored 30 points. His means that

2x + 3y = 30 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 14 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2(14 - y) + 3y = 30

28 - 2y + 3y = 30

- 2y + 3y = 30 - 28

y = 2

Substituting y = 2 into x = 14 - y, it becomes

x = 14 - 2

x = 12
