At Avery Middle School, 273 students responded to a survey asking whether a Bulldog, a Lion, or a Tiger should be the new school mascot. Four times as many students chose Bulldog as chose Tiger. Twice as many students chose Lion as chose Tiger. How many students chose Lion?
A. 39 students

Respuesta :

Let the number of students who chose tiger be x.
The number of students who chose bulldog is 4 * x.
The number of students who chose lion is 2 * x.
7x = 273
x = 273/7 = 39
Your answer would be:
2 * x = 78.

hope this helps! :))

The number of students who choose lion is [tex]78[/tex]

Let the number of students who chose tiger = [tex]x[/tex]

Then, the number of students who choose bulldog will be: = [tex]4*x=4x[/tex]

The number of students who choose lion will be: [tex]2*x=2x[/tex]

Therefore, the equation to solve the question will be:

[tex]4x + 2x + x = 273[/tex]

[tex]7x = 273[/tex]

Divide both side by 7

[tex]7x/7[/tex] [tex]= 273/7[/tex]

[tex]x = 39[/tex]

Since lion is represented as [tex]2x[/tex]. This will be:

[tex]= 2 * x= 2 * 39= 78[/tex]

In conclusion, [tex]78[/tex] students choose lion.
