A resolution was passed by a ratio of 5:4 If 900 people voted for the resolution, how many voted against it?
(400?)
The ston family spends $500 per month for rent. This is 4/15 of their total monthly income. Assuming that sale ties remain constant, what is the stone family income for one year
4x/15 = 500,
X = $1875/mo.
1875/mo. * 12mo./yr. = $22,500/yr.
5:4 = 900:x
Cross multiply and solve for x.
5x = 3600
x = 720
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
(4/15)x = 500
x = ?
Multiply the above answer by 12.
what the heck are "sale ties" ??
To find out how many people voted against the resolution, we need to determine the ratio of people who voted against it to those who voted for it.
We're given that the ratio of people who voted for the resolution to those who voted against it is 5:4. This means that for every 5 people who voted for the resolution, there were 4 people who voted against it.
We're also told that 900 people voted for the resolution. Since we know the ratio, we can set up a proportion using the given information:
(5/4) = 900/x
Cross-multiplying, we get:
5x = 900 * 4
5x = 3600
x = 3600/5
x = 720
So, 720 people voted against the resolution.
Now, let's move on to the second question:
We're told that the Stone family spends $500 per month on rent, which is 4/15 of their total monthly income.
To find their total monthly income, we can set up an equation:
(4/15) * x = $500
Multiplying both sides by 15/4, we get:
x = $500 * (15/4)
x = $1875
So, their total monthly income is $1875.
To find their annual income, we need to multiply their monthly income by 12:
Annual income = $1875 * 12
Annual income = $22,500
Therefore, the Stone family's income for one year is $22,500.
