The percentage of the boys at the book fair is 6%

<h3>What is a percentage?</h3>

Percentages are used in mathematics as a decimal ratio expressed in a fraction of 100. It is represented with a symbol known as %.

At a book fair, the ratio of adults to children are:

7 : 3

The total number of people at the book fair = 7 + 3 = 10

The percentage of adults are:

\mathbf{=\dfrac{7}{10}\times 100\%}

= 70% are adults

The percentage of children are:

 \mathbf{=\dfrac{3}{10}\times 100\%}

= 30% are children

However, if from the children, 4 are girls and 1 is a boy.

The total number of children at the fair  = 4 + 1 = 5

The percentage of girls are:

\mathbf{=\dfrac{4}{5} \times 30\%}

= 24%

The percentage of boys at the book fair is:

\mathbf{=\dfrac{1}{5} \times 30\%}

= 6%

Evaluate the summation of negative 2 n minus 3, from n equals 2 to 10..
Alisiya [41]
\bf \sum\limits_{n=2}^{10}~-2n-3

so, let's first change the bounds from 1 to 9, so we'll be dropping the indices by 1, in order to do the variable "n".

however, let's use a variable hmmm say "k", where "k" is the value of "n" beginning at 1, thus k = n - 1.

however, if k = n - 1, then k + 1 = n.  So let's use those fellows then,

\bf \sum\limits_{n=2}^{10}~-2n-3\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;k=n-1\\&#10;k+1=n&#10;\end{cases}\implies \sum\limits_{k=1}^{9}~-2\stackrel{n}{(k+1)}-3&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\sum\limits_{k=1}^{9}~-2k-2-3\implies \sum\limits_{k=1}^{9}~-2k-5\implies \sum\limits_{k=1}^{9}~-2k-\sum\limits_{k=1}^{9}~5&#10;\\\\\\&#10;-2\sum\limits_{k=1}^{9}~k-\sum\limits_{k=1}^{9}~5\implies -2\left( \cfrac{9(9+1)}{2} \right)\qquad -\qquad (9\cdot 5)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;-2(45)-45\implies -90-45\implies -135

<h2><u>Problem Solving</u>:-</h2>

2. The table below shows that the distance d varies directly as the time t. Find the constant of variation and the equation which describes the relation.

<h2><u>Solution</u>:-</h2>

Since the distance d varies directly as the time t, then d = kt.

Using one of the pairs of values, (2, 20), from the table, substitute the values of d and t in d = kt and solve for k.

\sf{\rightarrow{d =  kt}}

\sf\rightarrow{20  = 2k }

\sf\rightarrow{K= \frac{20}{2} }

\sf\rightarrow{K={\color{magenta}{10}}}

<h2><u>Answer</u>:-</h2>
  • Therefore, the constant of variation is 10.

Adrian's annual income changes every year because of the following three factors: On average, his salary is 1.2 times the previo
olya-2409 [2.1K]
In this question, Adrian initially has $52,000 and his salary is 1.2 times the previous year's salary. This means the income should look like this:52000*1.2^n 

30% of his income is budgeted for rent, then the equation should look like this: 30% * income= 30%*(52000*1.2^n)

Adrian's income increases by $2,300 each year as a result of gifts will make this equation:2300n

if you put the 3 equation together you will get
f(n)= 52000*1.2^n - 0.3(52000*1.2^n) +2300n
f(n)= 36400*1.2^n +2300n
