The Deep Dive
To increase R68 in the ratio of 7:4, first recognize that the combined parts of the ratio equal 7 + 4 = 11. To find the increase, divide R68 by 11 to get R6.18 (approximately). Multiply that by 7 for the increased portion: 7 x R6.18 = R43.18 (approximately). Add this amount to R68 for the final total: R68 + R43.18 = R111.18 (approximately).
To decrease
in the ratio of 5:7, again, the total parts are 5 + 7 = 12. Divide
by 12, which gives you
(approximately) for each part. For the decreased portion (5 parts), calculate
, which is approximately
. Finally, subtract that from
to find your new value:
(approximately).
In this scenario, if a farmer exchanges 72 pigs for 54 sheep at R560 each, that means the total value of the sheep is
. To find the price of a pig, you need to determine the value of the pigs exchanged; thus
is the price per pig. It’s a straightforward calculation where you divide total value by total quantity.
With a ratio of boys to girls as 4:3 and a total of 42 pupils in the class, you can find the number of boys by calculating the parts, which means there are
pupils in total. Solving for x gives
or
. Therefore, the number of boys is
boys.
For the scenario with 21 girls, you can use the same ratio of boys to girls (4:3). If the girls are represented as 3 parts and there are 21 girls, you can find x by dividing 21 by 3 (which means
). Therefore, the total number of pupils in the class, which includes boys as well, is
pupils.
