Total students = 1800
Number of students who did not take part = 540
Number of students who took part = 1800 - 540 = 1260

Number of students who did not take part = 540
Number of girls = 5/9 x 540 = 300
Number of boys = 540 - 300 = 240

2/3 as many girls as boys. ∴ ratio of girls to boys = 2:3
1800 ÷ 5 = 360
Number of girls = 360 x 2 = 720
Number of boys = 360 x 3 = 1080

Number of boys who took part = 1080 - 240 = 840

A sample of tritium-3 decayed to 94.5% of its original amount after a year.
Zolol [24]
(a) If y(t) is the mass after t days and y(0) = A then y(t) = Ae^{kt}.

y(1) = Ae^k = 0.945A \implies e^k = 0.945 \implies k = \ln 0.945

\text{Then } Ae^{(\ln 0.945)t} = \frac{1}{2}A\ \Leftrightarrow\ \ln e^{(\ln 0.945)t} = \ln \frac{1}{2}\ \Leftrightarrow\  ( \ln 0.945) t = \ln \frac{1}{2} \Leftrightarrow \\ \\
t = - \frac{\ln 5}{\ln 0.945} \approx 12.25 \text{ years}

(b)
Ae^{(\ln 0.945) t} = 0.20 A \ \Leftrightarrow\ (\ln 0.945) t \ln \frac{1}{5}\ \implies \\ \\
t = - \frac{\ln 5}{\ln 0.945} \approx 28.45\text{ years}

Giselle wants to buy a condo that has a purchase price of $163,000. giselle earns $2,986 a month and wants to spend no more than
Alborosie
The condo costs $163,000, earns $2,986 per month, spends no more than 25% of her income, then if she pays $33,000 for the down payment, the remaining amount would be $130,000. Since 20% of the initial cost is only $32,600, she can adjust her down payment to 20.25% of the initial cost so that the annual payments would be less.
