Since the ratio is 3:4, and 12/4 is 3 than you do 3x3 and get 9 so the answer is 9:12 or 9 boys and 12 girls. To check your answer, you can do 3/4 (for 3:4) and that is 0.75. If you do that with 9:12 you also get 0.75.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer and explanation:
Profit from sale of model boats = Sales -costs(costs of goods purchases + expenses or charges by the local fair)
John's profit from the sale of model boats can be represented by the equation:
P= 50x-(5x+80)
Where P is profit from the sale of the model boats and x is number of model boats bought and sold. The 80 is constant as it is a fixed cost paid to the local fair.
For example if John buys and sells 20 model boats, he would make profit of:
Substitute x=20 in equation above
P= 50×20-(5×20+80)
P=1000-180
P=$820
It could be said that John is in a very profitable business and his profit is also dependent on volume of sales because the lower his sales the closer he gets to making a loss and not profit
