Answer :

Ashraf82

There are 33 students wore black jeans in the choir

Step-by-step explanation:

For the choir concert,the choir Director has asked that everyone wear

either black pants or bluejeans

  • Three times as many students wore black pants as bluejeans
  • There are 44 students in the choir

We need to find how many wore black jeans

Assume that there are x students wear blue jeans

∵ There are x students wore blue jeans

∵ Three times as many students wore black pants as bluejeans

- That means the number of students who wore black jeans is

  3 times the number of students who wore blue jeans

∴ There are 3 x students wore black jeans

∵ There are 44 students in the choir

∴ x + 3 x = 44

∴ 4 x = 44

- Divide both sides by 4

∴ x = 11

∵ x represents the number of students who wore blue jeans

∴ There are 11 students wore blue jeans

∵ 3 x represents the number of students who wore black jeans

∵ 3 x = 3(11) = 33

∴ There are 33 students wore black jeans

There are 33 students wore black jeans in the choir
