The weight of the new student is 27 kg.
Average weight
= total weight ÷total number of students
<h3>
1) Define variables</h3>
Let the total weight of the 35 students be y kg and the weight of the new student be x kg.
<h3>2) Find the total weight of the 35 students</h3>
<u>
</u>
y= 35(45)
y= 1575 kg
<h3>3) Write an expression for average weight of students after the addition of the new student</h3>
New total number of students
= 35 +1
= 36
Total weight
= total weight of 35 students +weight of new students
= y +x
<h3>4) Substitute the value of y</h3>
<h3>5) Solve for x</h3>
36(44.5)= 1575 +x
1602= x +1575
<em>Subtract 1575 from both sides:</em>
x= 1602 -1575
x= 27
Thus, the weight of the new student is 27 kg.
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
The sales tax is 8%
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>We are given that:</u>
The price of the rocket is $24 and the sales tax is $1.92
To get the percentage of the sales tax, all we have to do is divide the sales tax by the price of the rocket and then multiply the quotient by 100 (to convert the ratio to percentage)
<u>This is done as follows:</u>
% of sales tax = 
% of sales tax = 
%

So you have 10 gallons of gas
You use 1.625 or 1.63 an hour
You can either do 10/1.625 = 6 hours and 15 mins
You can either do 10/1.63 = 6 hours and 13 mins
1.) r=-1/3
2.) x=-33/29
3.) x=-4/5 x=2/5
