Answer: About 12 of those 60 students are boys.

To find the percent, you'll convert 20% to a decimal.

20 / 100 = 0.2

Then, multiply 60 by 0.2

0.2 × 20 = 12

That's one way, another way is:

Convert 20% to a fraction.

20% = 1/5

Then multiply 60 by 1/5.

60 × 1/5 = 60/5

Lastly, divide 60 by 5

60 / 5 = 12.

Hence, 12 is the answer.

Which is the range of the function f(x) =1/7(9)x? all real numbers all real numbers less than 0 all real numbers greater than 0
zimovet [89]
I cannot suggest anything other than the set of real numbers here, but maybe someone else can provide a better answer. As long as you increase or decrease x (which is a real number) then you will get a real number, or the infinite set of real numbers.

PLS ANSWER QUICK I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
NISA [10]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we are decreasing the number so it has to be a decrease.

Next, we divide 7/31 and get around 0.23, which also represents 23 percent.

This only shows that 7 is 23 percent of 31, so we need to find the decrease by seeing the difference of 100 and 23.

We get 100 - 23 = 77, and because it is a decrease we get B.
