In a hockey club there are 5% more boys than there are girls. If there is a total of
246 members in the club, what is the number of boys and the number of girls?
HOW WOULD I WORK THIS OUT

Answers

Answer 1
Determine the percentage of boys and the percentage of girls in the club.
For an instance, pb stands for percentage of boys, and pg stands for percentage of girls.
pb + pg = 100%

There are 5% more boys, pb = pg + 5%
Input to the previous equation to find the percentage of the girls
pb + pg = 100%
pg + 5% + pg = 100%
2pg + 5% = 100%
2pg = 100% - 5%
2pg = 95%
--------------- divide each side by 2
pg = 47.5%

Substitute the percentage of girls to either equations to find the percentage of the boys
pb = pg + 5%
pb = 47.5% + 5%
pb = 52.5%

Find the number of the boys and the girls
The boys
b = pb × total members
b = 52.5% × 246
b = 0.525 × 246
b = 129.15
Because the number of people couldn't be a fraction, round to the nearest whole number
b = 129

The girls
g = total - b
g = 246 - 129
g = 117

There are 129 of boys, and 117 of girls
Answer 2

The number of boys and the number of girls are 126 and 120 respectively.

What is percentage?

A percentage is a portion of a whole expressed as a number between 0 and 100 rather than as a fraction.

Given that, there are 5% more boys than there are girls, there is a total of

246 members in the club,

We need to find the number of boys and the number of girls,

Here we will use the concept of percentage as well as equation solving,

Let the number of girls be x, so, the number of boys = 105% of x = 1.05x

According to the question,

x+1.05x = 246

2.05 x = 246

x = 120

1.05x = 126

Hence, the number of boys and the number of girls are 126 and 120 respectively.

In this parallelogram m angle bad =75 so m angle bcd

Answers

the complete question in the attached figure

we know that
m angle bad =75°
remember that on parallelogram 
(∠A + ∠B) = 180°
[Since, sum of the interior angles on the same side of the transversal is 180°] 
therefore
∠B=180°-∠A=180°-75°=105°
∠B=105°
Similarly
∠B + ∠C = 180°
∠C + ∠D = 180°
and ∠D + ∠A = 180°
Thus, the sum of any two adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180°.

m angle bcd=∠C=180-∠B=180°-105°=75°

the answer is m angle bcd=75°

Simplify the expression. 3–9 • 36 • 36

Answers

Final answer:

To simplify expressions, one needs to apply rules correctly, such as combining like terms and using exponentiation rules. The process includes correctly applying the rule that simplifies multiplications of the same base by adding their exponents. Cubing exponentials involves multiplying the original exponent by 3.

Explanation:

To simplify mathematical expressions, it's crucial to follow the correct rules and operations. In this case, the example provided shows the exponentiation and multiplication rules. Specifically, when dealing with expressions like 3².3⁵, this is equivalent to multiplying 3 x 3 and then taking that result and multiplying it by 3 five more times. According to the rule xPx9 = x(p+q), where x is the base and p and q are the exponents, it simplifies to adding the exponents when the base number is the same and multiplied together.

The process of simplifying expressions involves several steps:

Identifying like terms and combining them.Applying the rules of exponents correctly.Dividing or multiplying to simplify equations as demonstrated with loop equations, dividing by a constant to simplify the equation.

Additionally, when cubing exponentials, one should cube the digit normally and multiply the existing exponent by 3, a rule demonstrated in squaring operations as well.

Jerry's beginning balance in his checkbook was $457.56. He made deposits of $20, $80, and $165 and wrote checks for $216.58. His bank charge was $3.50. What was his ending balance for the month? a. $552.10 b. $505.98 c. $722.56 d. $502.48

Answers

If Jimmy wants to keep track of his checkbook balance he should pay attention to three things: 
First, when Jimmy make deposits, he should add  the amount of the deposits from the amount he has in the bank.
Second, when Jimmy write checks, he should deduct the amount of the checks from the amount he has in the bank.
And third, he should also deduct any bank charges from the amount he has in the bank.

From the question we know that Jimmy made deposits of $20, $80, and $165, so he should add those amounts to the money he has in the bank:
[tex]Balance=457.56+20+80+165[/tex]
[tex]Balance=722.56[/tex]
We also know that he wrote checks for $216.58, so he should subtract the amount from the balance:
[tex]Balance=722.56-216.58[/tex]
[tex]Balance=505.98[/tex]
Last but not least, the bank charged Jimmy $3.50, so we should subtract that amount from the balance too:
[tex]Balance=505.98-3.50[/tex]
[tex]Balance=502.48[/tex]

Notice that you can also add/subtract all the deposits, checks, and bank charges all at once:
[tex]Balance=457.56+20+80+165-216.58-3.50[/tex]
[tex]Balance=502.48[/tex]

Either way we can conclude that his ending balance for the month was $502.48; therefore, d is the correct answer.

What is the measure in radians for the central angle of a circle whose radius is 8 cm and intercepted arc length is 5.6 cm? Enter your answer as a decimal in the box.

Answers

central angle theta (in radians) = arc length / radius

So theta = 5.6/8 = 0.7 radians

The central angle measure for a circle with an 8 cm radius and a 5.6 cm intercepted arc length is 0.7 radians.

The question asks to find the measure in radians for the central angle of a circle with a radius of 8 cm and an intercepted arc length of 5.6 cm. To calculate the central angle in radians, we use the formula θ = [tex]\frac{l}{r}[/tex], where θ is the central angle in radians, l is the arc length, and r is the radius of the circle. Substituting the given values, we get θ =  [tex]\frac{5.6}{8}[/tex]

Through calculation, θ = 0.7 radians. So, the measure of the central angle that intercepts an arc length of 5.6 cm in a circle with a radius of 8 cm is 0.7 radians.

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture that Helpmetnx showed does work. But they made a mistake and assumed that the diagonal is a angle bisector, and it's not.

1. rectangle ABCD, BD & AC are the diagonals. ∠ABD =36 degrees

2. ∠ABD= ∠BDC = 36 - alternate interior angles

3. ∠DBC = 90 - 36 = 54. ∠DBC =∠ADB = ∠BCA = 54

4. Now we know that the triangle formed between the two diagonals is a isosceles triangle because of base angle theorem.

The area of a rectangle is 56 cm. The length is 2 cm more than x and the width is 5 cm less than twice x. solve for x. Round to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Answer: The answer is actually 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of x is 6, rounded to the nearest whole number.

To solve for x given the conditions:

1. Define the variables based on the problem:

  - Length of the rectangle [tex](\( L \)) = \( x + 2 \)[/tex]

  - Width of the rectangle [tex](\( W \)) = \( 2x - 5 \)[/tex]

2. Write the equation for the area of the rectangle:

  - Area [tex](\( A \)) = \( L \times W \)[/tex]

  - Given that the area is 56 cm², we have:

[tex]\[ (x + 2)(2x - 5) = 56 \][/tex]

3. Expand the equation:

[tex]\[ (x + 2)(2x - 5) = 2x^2 - 5x + 4x - 10 = 2x^2 - x - 10 \][/tex]

4. Set up the equation:

[tex]\[ 2x^2 - x - 10 = 56 \][/tex]

5. Move all terms to one side of the equation to set it to zero:

[tex]\[ 2x^2 - x - 10 - 56 = 0 \] \[ 2x^2 - x - 66 = 0 \][/tex]

6. Solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula:

[tex]\[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \]\\ where \( a = 2 \), \( b = -1 \), and \( c = -66 \).[/tex]

7. Calculate the discriminant:

[tex]\[ \Delta = b^2 - 4ac = (-1)^2 - 4(2)(-66) = 1 + 528 = 529 \][/tex]

8. Calculate the roots:

[tex]\[ x = \frac{-(-1) \pm \sqrt{529}}{2(2)} = \frac{1 \pm 23}{4} \][/tex]

So, the solutions are:

[tex]\[ x = \frac{1 + 23}{4} = \frac{24}{4} = 6 \][/tex]

and

[tex]\[ x = \frac{1 - 23}{4} = \frac{-22}{4} = -5.5 \][/tex]

Since x must be a positive value in the context of this problem, we have: x = 6

9. Verify the solution:

Length L = x + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8 cm

Width W = 2x - 5 = 2(6) - 5 = 12 - 5 = 7  cm

Area = [tex]\( 8 \times 7 = 56 \)[/tex] cm², which matches the given area.

Therefore, ( x = 6).
