Two classes have a total of 50 students. One of the classes has 6 more students than the other. How many students are in the larger class.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Let's say 'x' to number of the students in the smaller class. Since the larger one is 6 more than the smaller one, its number would be 'x+6'. So their sum is equal to 

x+x+6=2x+6 and we know total is 50 so:
2x+6=50\n 2x=50-6\n 2x=44\n x=\frac { 44 }{ 2 } \n x=22 

x is 22 so the larger number 'x+6' is equal to : x+6=22+6=28
Answer 2
Answer:

There are 28 students in the larger class.

Let's assume the number of students in one class is x.

Since the other class has 6 more students, the number of students in the other class is x + 6.

The total number of students in both classes is 50.

Therefore, we can write the equation:

x + (x + 6) = 50

2x + 6 = 50

Subtracting 6 from both sides:

2x = 44

Dividing both sides by 2:

x = 22

So, the number of students in the larger class, which is x + 6, is:

22 + 6 = 28

Therefore, there are 28 students in the larger class.

Jeremy is opening a savings account earning simple interest. He plans to deposit his $50 birthday money and leave the account alone until he goes to college. He will earn $5 per year in interest.

Answers

Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula of simple interest:

A=P(1+rt)

We can determine the interest rate if he earns $5 a year. Which means after a year he will have $55. Let A be the final amount after year t with t=1:

55=50(1+r(1))

Solve for r, the interest rate:

5=50r

r=5/50=0.1

Jeremy will earn money in the firsts year at a interest rate of 10%

Your bank balance is $102.35 and you've just made purchases for $20, $33.33, and $52.80. You then make deposits of $25 and $24.75. What's your new balance?

Answers

Answer:

The new balance is $45.97 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Your bank balance is $102.35 and you've just made purchases for $20, $33.33, and $52.80.

Bank balance after the purchase = $102.35 - $20 -$33.33 - $52.80

                                                       = $102.35 - $ 106.13

                                                       = - $3.78

As given

You then make deposits of $25 and $24.75.

Total deposit money = $25 + $24.75

                                  = $49.75

Thus

New balance = Bank balance after the purchase + Total deposit money

                      = - $3.78 + $49.75

                      = $ 45.97

Therefore the new balance is $45.97 .

$102.35 - $20 = $82.35
$82.35 - $33.33 = $49.02
$49.02 - $52.80 = $-3.78
$-3.78 + $25 = $21.22
$21.22 + $24.74 = $45.97
so $45.97 is your answer

A biologist wants to determine the effect of a new fertilizer on tomato plants. What could be a response variable?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The response variable is also called as the outcome variable or dependent variable. The changes occurring in the response variable is due to changes in the independent variable.

In the given situation, the response of new fertilizer on the tomato plants is to be checked. Hence, the growth of tomato plants is the response variable. The new fertilizer is the independent variable.

Plant growth could be a response variable! :)
