brandy and adriana work at an after school child care center together they cared for 32 children this week brandy cared for 0.6 times as many children as adriana how many children did each girl care for

Respuesta :

Answer:

Adriana took care of 20 kids. And Brandy took care of 12 kids.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

Let us suppose Adriana took care of "x" number of children after school.

Then, by the question,

Brandy took care of 0.6 times as many children as adriana.

i.e. Brandy took care of =0.6*x children

So,

Total no. of children that they took care of is = [tex]x+0.6*x[/tex]

                                                                            =[tex]1.6*x[/tex]

The data given says they took care of 32 children,

so,

[tex]1.6*x=32[/tex]

or,[tex]x=\frac{32}{1.6}[/tex]

∴[tex]x=20[/tex]

So, Adriana took care of 20 kids. And Brandy took care of (=0.6*20)=12 kids.
