The fewest number of students who could have chosen the topic selected by most students is 17.

Since there are six essays and each student is required to write an essay on one of the six topics, the probability of choosing one of the six topic is

P(one topic) = one topic/total number of topics

= 1/6.

Since we have 100 students, the fewest number of students that could choose the topic selected by most students is

n = Probability of selecting one topic × total number of students

= P(one topic) × 100

= 1/6 × 100

= 16.67

≅ 17 students.

So, the fewest number of students who could have chosen the topic selected by most students is 17.

The price of an item yesterday was $135 . Today, the price rose to $216 . Find the percentage increase.
Softa [21]

Answer:

60% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

Work out the difference increase between the two numbers you are comparing.Then you increase the new number by the original number. Next you divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. Finally divide the increase number and the original number then multiply by 100. That will give you your answer.

Answer:

150

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 4^3 = 4 x 4 x 4 = 16 x 4 = 64

2. 64 - 4 = 60

3. 60 ÷ 2 = 30

4. 30 ⋅ 5 = 150

Type the correct answer in each box. Spell all words correctly, and use numerals instead of words for numbers. If necessary, use
Firlakuza [10]
Given:
2 rectangular prism.
same height
square bases


                                    Box A     Box B
Square Base side          2 ft        0.75 ft
Height                            4 ft        4 ft

Solving for the space inside each rectangular prism, we need to find its volume.

Volume of a rectangular prism = length * width * height

Box A: 
Volume = 2 ft * 2 ft * 4 ft = 16 cubic feet

Box B:
Volume = 0.75 ft * 0.75 ft * 4 ft = 2.25 cubic feet

Box A - Box B = difference in space

16 cubic feet - 2.25 cubic feet = 13.75 cubic feet

Box A contains 13.75 cubic feet more space than Box B.

solve this system of linear equations. Separate the X- and Y- values with a comma. -9x+2y=-16 19x+3y=41​
Serjik [45]

Answer:

(2, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to do this to avoid tedious fractions is to use the addition method (sometimes called the elimination method).  We will work to eliminate one of the variables.  Since the y values are smaller, let's work to get rid of those.  That means we have to have a positive and a negative of the same number so they cancel each other out.  We have a 2y and a 3y.  The LCM of those numbers is 6, so we will multiply the first equation by a 3 and the second one by a 2.  BUT they have to cancel out, so one of those multipliers will have to be negative.  I made the 2 negative.  Multiplying in the 3 and the -2:

3(-9x + 2y = -16)--> -27x + 6y = -48

-2(19x + 3y = 41)--> -38x - 6y = -82

Now you can see that the 6y and the -6y cancel each other out, leaving us to do the addition of what's left:

-65x = -130 so

x = 2

Now we will go back to either one of the original equations and sub in a 2 for x to solve for y:

19(2) + 3y = 41 so

38 + 3y = 41 and

3y = 3.  Therefore,

y = 1

The solution set then is (2, 1)
