So basically sam split the 1000 to 2 groups so we have 1000 ÷ 2
now the first group divided the 500 (since 1000÷ 2 is 500) among five children so it would be 500 ÷ 5 which equals 100 per child and the second group divided their 500 between to boys, so you would get 500÷2 which is 250
so for group one it would be: 1000÷2÷5 which equals 100 per child and the second group is 1000÷2÷2 which equals 250 for each brother
Answer: x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
1. add 5x + 1x which will equal 6x so now your equation is: 6x + 6 = 78
2. subtract 6 from 78 to get 72: 6x = 72
3. divide 72 by 6x to get your answer 12
It is always important to go through the given problem first to get a concept of the requiremement. Then all the information's available from the question has to be noted down in such a manner that there would be no need to look at the question while solving.
Total number of students wearing jeans = 10
Total number of students wearing shorts = 9
Total number of students wearing capris = 2
Then the total number of students surveyed by Mrs Lane = (10 + 9 + 2)
= 21
Now percentage of students wearing shorts = (9/21) * 100
= (3/7) * 100
= 300/7
= 42.85 percent
So a total percentage of 42.85% of the students were wearing shorts.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
If 12 pencils are 1.25, 24 would be 2 x 1.25. And 4 notebooks worth 0.65 would be 4 x 0.65
Added up, this expression is:
(2 x 1.25) + (4 x 0.64)
