Last year at a certain high school, there were 125 boys on the honor roll and 80 girls on the honor roll. This year, the number

of boys on the honor roll decreased by 8% and the number of girls on the honor roll decreased by 5%. By what percentage did the total number of students on the honor roll decrease? Round your answer to the nearest tenth (if necessary).

Answer:

6.8% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

a drop of 8% means that only 92% of 125 boys remained on honor roll from last year; .92 x 125 = 115

a drop of 5% means that only 95% of 80 girls remained on honor roll from last year; .95 x 80 = 76

total number of students on honor roll last year = 125 + 80 = 205

total number of students on honor roll this year = 115 + 76 = 191

percent of change = (191 - 205) ÷ 205 = -14/205 = -.068

-.068, which represents a 6.8% decrease

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x - 5

2x - 5y = 1

2x - 5(x - 5) = 1

2x - 5x + 25 = 1

-3x + 25 = 1

-3x = -24

x = 8

y = 8 - 5

y = 3

(8, 3)

I need help solving this anyone?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

  • x = 108
  • y = 72
  • z = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles of a linear pair are supplementary. That is, they total 180°. The angle marked x° and the one marked 72° are a linear pair:

  x° +72° = 180°

  x = 180 -72 = 108 . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 72

__

Vertical angles are congruent. Angles y° and 72° are vertical angles, so ...

  y = 72

__

Angles z° and 72° together make a right, which has a measure of 90°.

  z° +72° = 90°

  z = 90 -72 = 18 . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 72

__

  (x, y, z) = (108, 72, 18)

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Angles 72° and x° form a linear pair, as do angles x° and y°. That is, angles 72° and y° are both supplementary to angle x°. Angles that are supplementary to the same angle are congruent. This will be the case for any vertical angles: they are supplementary to the same angle.

Amir and Marvin continue until they each flip a coin
Ahat [919]

We are told that each person flips a coin 200 times. We know that a coin has two options when heads or tails fall, therefore, the results between Amir and Marvin are compared with the number of heads and the number of tails that each one obtained.

The theoretical probability says that out of 200 times a coin is flipped by having 50% heads or tails come out, 100 must be heads and 100 must be tails, theoretically obviously speaking.

Therefore with these values it would be the comparison.
