a survey conducted in a school showed that 65% of the students walked to school. The remaining students took buses to school. The ratio of students who took buses to those who took public buses was 4:3. There were 360 more students who walked than took buses. How many students took public buses to school? Please explain everything you did or just write your equations.

Answer 1

Answer: I fear that there is an error copying your assignment.
65% of the students walked. Are all of the other students on buses? Are there both public buses AND private buses?
Assuming that you need to know BOTH kinds of buses, try this:

65% of the students walked, so since 100% - 65% = 35% then this means that 35% of the students were on buses.
Since we know that there are 360 more walkers than bus riders, then one equation we know is: 65% of S = 360 + 35% of S (let S = total # of students)
.65 S = 360 + .35 S
- .35 S = - .35 S Subtract .35 S from both sides
.30 S = 360 Divide both sides by .30 (or .3)
.30 .30
S = 1,200 so we know that this is the total number of students, but that is not what was asked.
They want to know how many are on buses and specifically how many are on public buses, if I read this correctly.
Since the walkers = 65% of 1,2000 and we know of means TIMES, then
.65 (1,200) = 780 walkers
1,200 total students minus 780 walkers = 420 bus riders

Now, if there is not a misprint and we really have to figure out the public bus riders as compared to the private bus riders, then remember the ratio from above in the question: 4 bus: 3 public buses
Now if I read this right, that means that 3/4ths of the bus riders were on public buses
so 3/4 of 420 means 3/4 times 420 = 3 times 105 = 315 public bus riders (which coincidentally leaves 105 private bus riders, but since they are private we don't know much about them. Ha-Ha..... I made a lame joke.)

So your answer is 315 public bus riders

Answer:

The parallelograms PQRS and TUVW are not alike.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, if one angle is known, then all the other angles can also be determined.

Now, parallelograms PQRS and TUVW have one angle of 120° equal.

So, the other three angles will be the same for them.

The adjacent sides of the parallelogram PQRS are 8 ft and 12 ft. and the adjacent sides of the parallelogram TUVW are 2.4 ft and 5.2 ft.

So the ratios of sides of the two parallelograms are $(8)/(2.4) = 3.33$ and $(12)/(5.2) = 2.3$ which are not equal.

So, the parallelograms PQRS and TUVW are not alike. (Answer)

Mrs. Anderson has 128 pencils left over at the end of the school year. She decides to keep half of them for the next year and divide the rest of the pencils evenly among her 16 students. How many pencils will each student receive? A. 9 B. 8 C. 18 D. 4

Answers

First we need to figure out what half of 128 is

128 ÷ 2 = 64

Now, we need to divide 64 by the amount of students she has (16)

64 ÷ 16 = 4

Therefore, each student will get 4 pencils meaning the answer is D

Tom bought a soft drink for 3 dollars and 6 candy bars he spent a total of 21 dollars how much did each candy bar cost

Answers

Answer:

Each candy bar was $3

Step-by-step explanation:

You subtract the 3 dollar soda from the total to find out how much he spent on candy bars all together.Then, you divide that number by how many candy bars he purchased, 6 to get your answer, $3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that the soft drink was 3 dollars so we can subtract that from the total ($21) which gives you $18

then we know that the 6 candy bars cost $18 in total so we can divide 18 by 6 to get the unit price which gives you $3
