5) 200 students at a local college campus
were asked to choose between chocolate
and vanilla ice cream. 50 of the 200
students chose chocolate. if the college
has a total of 1000 students,
approximately how many students would
prefer chocolate ice cream?

250 students would

prefer chocolate ice cream

Step-by-step explanation:

50 of 200

+50   +200

100 of 400

+50    +200

150 of 600

+50     +200

200 of 800

+50      +200

250 of 1000

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions

the ratio of balloons to tables is 5: 2 and the constant variation is 5.

the equation is y=5x
