Let the number of girls be x and the number of boys be y

The number of boys is the same as the number of girls.
x = y 
The number of boys is twice the number of girls when 8 girls left.
2(x - 8) = y


x = y ---------------- (1)
2(x - 8) = y -------- (2)

Sub (1) into (2)

2(y - 8) = y
2y - 16 = y
2y - y = 16
y = 16
There were 16 boys and 16 girls initially.

16 + 16 = 32 
There were a total of 32 students in the class initially.

Answer:

1500/40=37.5

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

m∠PRT = 114°

m∠T = 37°

m∠RPT = 29°

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is incomplete (without a picture) ; here is the picture attached.

In this picture, an airplane is at an altitude 12000 feet.

When the plane is at the point P, pilot can observe two towns at R and T in front of plane.

We have to find the measure of ∠PRT, ∠T and ∠RPT.

Form the figure attached segment PS is parallel to RT and PR is a transverse.

We know that internal angles formed on one side of the parallel lines by a transverse are supplementary.

Therefore, x + 66 = 180

x = 180 - 66 = 114°

∠PRT = x = 114°

m∠RPT = m∠SPR - m∠SPT

             = 66 - 37

             = 29°

Since m∠PRT + m∠T + m∠RPT = 180°

114 + ∠T + 29 = 180

143 + ∠T = 180

∠T = 180 - 143

∠T = 37°
