Acommittee in congress is made up of 19 members, and there are 9 more democrats than republicans on it. how many democrats are on the committee?

The number of the Democrats are 14 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the number of Republicans are x.

As given

A committee in Congress is made up of 19 members, and there are 9 more Democrats than Republicans on it.

Thus

Number of Democrats = 9 + x

Than the equation becomes

9 + x + x = 19

9 + 2x = 19

2x = 19 - 9

2x = 10

x = 5

The number of Republicans are 5.

Thus

Number of Democrats = 9 + 5

                                       = 14

Therefore the number of the Democrats are 14 .

hey! so 1 (25) out of 4 (100) is 25 so your answer is 25%. it's like quarters!
