Denise received 300 votes in election for student council president she was 60% of the students who voted in the election how many students voted in the election?

500 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be shown by this formula.

300 is 60% of x. So if u can find the 100% by taking 300 and multiplying it by 100 which would be the 100% and dividing it by 60 which would be the 60%. The number that you get is how many didn't vote for Denise. Now just add these which would be 300+200 which would give you the answer above.

hey seth! : )

i’m not 100% sure, but i think it’s b

hope this ya : p

miss u!

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
