Because I don’t know and I am supposed to get help that’s what this website is about not being rude to ppl that need help.
oh, wow - a whole hour. Have you tried to solve it while you were waiting and whining?
c = 3/4 d
c + d/2 = 27 + d/2
clearly, c=27
so d = 4/3 * 27 = 36
check:
18 of the 36 drama members left to join the 27 computer club
27+18 = 45 = 36/2 + 27
c = 3/4 d
c + d/2 = 27 + d/2
clearly, c=27
so d = 4/3 * 27 = 36
check:
18 of the 36 drama members left to join the 27 computer club
27+18 = 45 = 36/2 + 27
