Answer:
Its 13
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5+3/8= 31/40 therefore he still has 9/40 to go.
to get this you multiply the two denominators together
5x8=40 which is your denominator
then you cross multiply the two numerators
2x8=16
3x5=15
to get the final
15/40+16/40=31/40
and you are left with 9/40
Let x represent the number originally signed up.
.. 360/x -6 = 360/(x +3)
.. 360*(x +3) -6x(x +3) = 360x . . . . . multiply by the product of denominators
.. 360x +1080 -6x^2 -18x = 360x
.. x^2 +3x -180 = 0
.. (x +15)(x -12) = 0
Solutions are x = {-15, 12}
12 members went on the trip.
_____
The problem wording does not make clear whether the original number (12) or the number suggested by the bus company (15) went on the trip. It would be most reasonable for 15 to go, if the troop had people who were willing.
