Answer: Scale Factor = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The top side of the blue triangle is equal to 2 and the top side of the red triangle is equal to 6. Therefore you hav to divide 6 by 2 to give you the scale factor which is 3. (Sorry I do not know if zoom factor is the same as scale factor)
In solving equations, each must have vales of x and y. X is any number and Y is the output of any number. If you substitute x for a number, you can solve the equation for y.
First of all, the identity property of multiplication (which is what this is I'm assuming) is that the number 1 multiplied by any other number is that number itself. (An example would be 2 multiplied by 1, which would be two) So in this problem, this rule applies too, since 2/3 multiplied by 1 would be 2/3!
Hope this helped :)
If the top is $48 and it is 60% off you will multiply the cost by the decimal form of the sale percentage: 48*0.60= $28.80. This is the amount she will save and I think is the answer you are looking for.
If there is a follow up question asking for the final cost of the top you would find that by subtracting the amount saved from the original cost: 48.00-28.80=$19.20.
