There were 600 students at the north campus and 400 students at the south campus.
<h2 /><h3><u>Calculus</u></h3>
To determine, if 42% of the 1000 students at the east campus are music majors, how many students did the north and south campuses have before the merger, the following calculation must be performed:
0.10X + 0.90Y = 420
1000 x 0.42 = 420
500 x 0.10 + 500 x 0.90 = 50 + 450 = 500
600 x 0.10 + 400 x 0.90 = 60 + 360 = 420
Therefore, there were 600 students at the north campus and 400 students at the south campus.
x is distance and y is cost because the cost is dependent on the distance which makes the distance the independent variable. you can always use y=mx+b for these problems!!
