I'm so sorry if this was confusing for you but just saying the answer clearly is (4,24)
The ration of boy campers to total campers is 8:15, and the ratio of girl campers to total campers is 7:15. Using this information, we can answer this question by setting up proportions.
<u>For boys:</u>
<em>*Cross multiply*</em>
15x=1560
<em>*Divide both sides by 15*</em>
x=104
There are 169 boy campers.
<u>For girls:</u>
<em>*Cross multiply*</em>
15x=1365
91=x
There are 91 girl campers.
Hope this helps!!
Answer:
A=60, B=80, and C=67
Step by step explanation:
B= 2a
C= a+27
With the information, you get the equation:
A+A+27+2A=187
Then, you have to simplify.
You then get 4a+27=187.
Now, you subtract 27 from both sides to get: 4a=60.
Divide both sides by 4 to get A= 60.
If A=60, 2A=80, so B=80. A+27=67, so C=67.
You check this by adding them up to see if they equal to 187, which in fact, they do.
A=60, B=80, and C=67.
Hope this helped!
