A high school has 900 students, 40% of whom are drama majors. A second high school has a 75% drama majors population. The school board plans to merge the two schools into a Performing Arts magnet school that will then have a 52.5% drama majors student body. How many students are at the second school?

Answer 1

Let x = # students at second h.s.
=======================
0.4(900) + 0.75x = 0.525(900+x)
solve for x.

Answer 2

Solution A is 30% acid and solution B is 60% acid. How many gallons of each solution must be used to create a 60 gallon mixute that is 50% acid. I have to set this up as a system of equations, and I thought one system was x + y = 60, but I can't get an answer, please help

Answer 3

If you piggy back one question on another you are unlikely to get an answer, because it looks as though the question has been answered. You should show you question as a new problem.

Answer 4

0.4(900)+0.75x = 0.525(900+x)
360 + 0.75x = 472.5 + 0.525x
0.75x - 0.525x = 472.5 - 360
0.225x = 112.5
0.225x/0.225 = 112.5/0.225
x = 500

Answer 5

Use the excerpt from Albert Beveridge's "The March of the Flag Speech," 1898 to answer the question.
Which of the following best describes Beveridge's main argument in support of U.S imperialism? Explain
A. the lack of resources available to foreign businessmen
B. the discovery of new flora and fauna of academic interest
C. the inability of locals to govern or protect themselves
D. the inefficient political systems governing the countries he describes

Answer 6

C. The inability of locals to govern or protect themselves. In his speech, Beveridge argued that it was the duty of the United States to help people in other parts of the world who were unable to govern themselves effectively and protect themselves from harm. He believed that the United States had a responsibility to bring its system of government and values to other parts of the world, particularly those that were seen as "backward" or "uncivilized."
