In a group of 15 children the ratio of the boy : the girl is 2: 3: 5 more girls join the group. Calculate the percentage of boys in the new group. What is the percentage decrease for the boys? Find the increase percent of the girls

Percentage of new group boys = 30%

Percentage decrease for the boys = 10%

Increase percent of the girls = 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of children = 15

Ratio (Boys to Girls) = 2 : 3

Number of more girls join = 5

Find:

Percentage of boys in new group

Percentage decrease for the boys

Increase percent of the girls

Computation:

Number of boys = 15[2/5]

Number of boys = 6

Number of girls = 15[3/5]

Number of girls = 9

Percentage of boys = [6 / 15]100

Percentage of boys = 40%

Percentage of girls = [9 / 15]100

Percentage of girls = 60%

New number of students = 15 + 5

New number of students = 20

New number of boys = 6

New number of girls = 9 + 5 = 14

Percentage of new group boys = [6 / 20]100

Percentage of new group boys = 30%

Percentage of new group girls = [14 / 20]100

Percentage of new group girls = 70%

Percentage decrease for the boys = 40% - 30%

Percentage decrease for the boys = 10%

Increase percent of the girls = 70% - 60%

Increase percent of the girls = 10%

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x
