Starting with the paints, we have 15$ as our base value. Next, since we add $24.50 for each new canvas bought, 24.5*x=the amount of money for x canvases. Therefore, since 15 is our base value, we have 15+24.5*6=162
Find the percentage of boys:
100 - 56 = 44
Boys = 44%
110 = 44%
110 is 44% of what number?
This number will be the total number of students.
To calculate it further, divide 110 by 0.44.
Since our sum is 62, and we have consecutive numbers being added, our range is most likely going to be from 10-20.
To further solve this problem easily, try finding 4 consecutive numbers with the ones place adding up to 12, 22, 32, 42, or any number that sums up to the 2 in the ones place.
Let's try 14, 15, 16, 17, since 4, 5, 6, and 7 sum up to a number with a 2 in the ones place.
14 + 15 = 29,
16 + 17 = 33.
33 + 29 is 62.
We have found the age of the friends, but we're looking for the oldest.
Our largest number is 17.
Your answer is 17 years old.
I hope this helps!
