9514 1404 393

Answer:

  175

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g represent the number of girls. Then 280-g is the number of boys. Their ratio is ...

  boys/girls = 3/5 = (280-g)/g

Clearing fractions gives ...

  3g = 5(280 -g)

  8g = 1400 . . . . eliminate parentheses, add 5g

  g = 175 . . . . . . . divide by 8

There are 175 girls in the grade 3 classes at Domino Primary School.

Maggie buys 5 apples and 4 oranges for $10 and Lynn buys 5 apples and 5 oranges for $11. What is the price for an apple and what
nlexa [21]
Make 2 eqn, let a be apples and o be oranges:

1. 5a + 4o = 10
2. 5a + 5o = 11

set up an elimination:
1. minus 2.
5a + 4o = 10
- 5a + 5o = 11
____________
o = 1

sub “o” into one of the eqn

5a + 5(1) = 11
5a = 11-5
5a = 6
a = 6/5
a = 1.2

therefore, an orange costs $1.00 and an apple costs $1.20

If you have $45 and they take 2.1% of it how much do you have left ?
IRINA_888 [86]
First you need to make a multiplier for 100-2.1%, to do this you minus the values and divide it by 100:
100-2.1 = 97.9
97.9/100 = 0.979

Then you multiply all the questions by it:
$45 * 0.979 = $44.055
$765 * 0.979 = $748.935
$1300 * 0.979 = $1272.7

Hope this helps! :)
