A class of 48 students has 22 boys and 26 girls. What is ratio of girls to boys in the class?

In this problem, we need to find the amount of gratuity the couple will leave. The gratuity is 16% of the total bill. Before solving the problem, the following are terms and their meaning in percent problems:

• Is means equals
• Of means multiply
• What means unknown (variable)

If we let x be the amount of gratuity, then translating the given problem into a mathematical equation becomes:

So, the value of x=9.376 and to the nearest cent, x=9.38

There, a couple will leave a gratuity of $9.38.

 we are to find the selling price of the sweater from the marked price and the discount. The marked price is given as

Discount=mark off rate*original price

Discount=15%*$78

Convert 15% into a fraction, which become 15/100=0.15. Then

Discount=0.15*$78=$11.70

The selling price of the sweater will be the original price less the discount or mark off value. Then,

Thus, the approximate selling price of the sweater is $66.

to convert fraction to percent, multiply the fraction with 100%. Therefore, the percent equivalent of 3/4 is

3/4*100%=75%

Thus, 3/4is equal to 75%.

From the given estimations, we can find the exact sum after adding the given numbers and see the trend the student utilizes to find their estimates. The actual sum is as follows

26+180=206

115+391=506

497+2024=2521

From the above evaluation, the students round the exact sum to the nearest tens. So, in the problem we need to approximate 545+7501.

545+7501=8046

The exact sum is 8046 and the approximate value after rounding to the nearest tens is 8050.

Looking at the give curve, we analyze each statement as:

• For statement 1: the points per game decreased five times between 1996 and 2015. So, the statement is false.
• For statement 2: the lowest points scored per game was in 1998-99 season and not in 2003-04 season. So, the statement is false.
• For statement 3: 2008-09 was the season the chargers scored the greatest number of points per game. So, this statement is false.
• For statement 4: the two season which no change in the points were 2012-13 and 2013-14. So this is true according to given curve.

to find the average time the athlete runs in 1 mile, find total time divided by total distance covered in the two runs.

Total distance=5+3=8 miles

Total time=25+15=40 minutes

We now know that the athlete runs 8 miles in 40 minutes, so the time the athlete will run in 1 mile will be:  

In 5 minutes, the athlete runs 1 mile.

Correlation of two variables falls into:

Positive correlation: an increase in one variable causes another variable to increase

Negative correlation: an increase in one variable causes another one to decrease

No correlation: a change in one variable does not cause any response in another variable.

From the given choices

Option a is no correlation

Option b is a negative correlation

Option c is a negative correlation

Option d is a positive correlation

Thus, the correct statement is a.

The distribution of the weights of the newborn babies is symmetric meaning the mean, mode, and median are all equal. Thus, the bell-shape curve describes this kind of distribution of weights

we are asked to find the largest value from the options given. To solve this problem, we need to convert all the given values into fraction. Then find the least common denominator for all fractions, which we will use to multiply each fraction and make a comparison.

43÷55=43/55

5/7

0.729=729/1000

73%=73/100

Now, we need to find the least common denominator of 55, 7, 1000, and 100, which is 77000. We multiply each fraction by 77000 as follows:

43/55*77000=60200

5/7*77000=55000

729/1000*77000=56133

73/100*77000=56210

From the calculated values, it can be noted that 43/55 is the greatest value among the given options.

We need to find the radius in order to find the area of the pizza.

Radius of pizza

The area of the pizza

But r=4.5

Thus, the area of the pizza is 20.25  in2.

NOTE:  is used as is since values of pi may vary e.g. 3.14, 3.142, 22/7. Hence we use pi symbol to generalize.
