Hi There!

Answer:

$24

Step-by-step explanation:

= 1/4 + 1/3

= 3/12 + 4/12

= 7/12

7/12a + 8 = 22

Subtract 8 to both sides of the equation.

7/12a + 8 - 8 = 22 - 8

Simplify

7/12a = 14

Switch

a = 12/7 * 14

Simplify

a = $24

Hope This Helps :)

C. The way the sample was chosen may overrepresent or underrepresent students taking certain language classes.

The samples he chose may not be a representative sample because the number of students per foreign language class may not be the same. Since classes have different numbers of students, one may have a very large number of students while another may have only a few. Taking equal number of students per class is not a representative sample because it doesn't represent the students correctly.
