A man was traveling by air is allowed a maximum of 20kg luggages .The man has four bags weighing 3.5kg ,15 kg ,2kg and 1.5kg .Find excess weight of his luggage. 2 . Express the excess weight as a percentage of his maximum weight allowed.

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum weight = 20 kg

Bag 1 = 3.5kg

Bag 2 = 15 kg

Bag 3 = 2kg

Bag 4 = 1.5kg

Total weight of bags = 22 kg

Excess weight of his luggage = Total weight of bags - Maximum weight

= 22 kg - 20 kg

= 2 kg

Express the excess weight as a percentage of his maximum weight allowed = excess weight / maximum weight × 100

= 2/20 × 100

= 0.1 × 100

= 10%

Express the excess weight as a percentage of his maximum weight allowed = 10%

40 students total

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the total number of students.  Then (3/4)s are girls and (1/4)s are boys.  Using the info on boys, (1/4)s = 10.  Thus, s = 40 (students).

Check:  Is (1/4)(40) = 10?  Yes.

             Is (3/4)(40) = 30?  Yes

             Is 10+30 = 40 (students)?  Yes
