a group of boy scouts and girls scouts is going on a rafting trip . 60 % of the scouts arrived with signed permission slips . if 45 % of the scouts were boy scouts and 50 % of the boy scouts arrived with signed permission slips , then what percentage of the girl scouts arrived with signed permission slips ? round to the nearest percent .
"45 % were boy scouts so 55 % ( 100 - 45 = 55 ) were girl scouts . # of boy scouts with permission slips signed + # of girl scouts with permission slips signed = total # with permission slip signed ( 50 % of 45 % of the total going ) + ( ? % of 55 % of the total going ) = 60 % of the total going we can let the ` ` total going ' ' = 1,000 arbitrarily since we only care about the percent ( of girl scouts w / permission signed ) . 50 * . 45 * 1,000 + x * . 55 * 1,000 = . 60 * 1,000 225 + x * 550 = 600 550 x = 375 x = 375 / 550 x = . 6818181818 which converts to a percent of 68.18181818 % which rounds to 68 % b"
multiply(divide(subtract(60, divide(multiply(45, 50), const_100)), subtract(const_100, 45)), const_100)
