Answer:

$80,000

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Define the variables</u>:

Let x = "fish-flavored" chicken company investment (in dollars)

Let y = spray-on vitamins company investment (in dollars)

If Allen invested a total of $100,000:

⇒ x + y = 100000

Given:

3% profit on "fish-flavored" chicken investment
1% profit on pray-on vitamins investment
Total profit = $2,600

⇒ 0.03x + 0.01y = 2600

Rewrite the first equation to make y the subject:

⇒ y = 100000 - x

Substitute into the second equation and solve for x:

⇒ 0.03x + 0.01(100000 - x) = 2600

⇒ 0.03x + 1000 - 0.01x = 2600

⇒ 0.02x + 1000 = 2600

⇒ 0.02x = 1600

⇒ x = 80000

Therefore, Allen invested $80,000 in the "fish-flavored" chicken company.

Answer:

$x=14$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle is a right triangle, meaning it is a triangle with a right angle, this is indicated by the box around one of the angles. When given a right triangle, one can use the right triangle trigonometric ratios. These ratios describe the relationship between an angle in a right triangle, and the sides in a right triangle. Such ratios are as follows,

$sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\\\\cos(\theta)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\\\tan(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

Bear in mind that the way one names the sides, in the sense of (opposite or adjacent) will change based on the angle one uses to describe the triangle. However, the hypotenuse is the same no matter the angle, as the hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle.

In this case, one is given one of the angles, and the side opposite the angle. One is asked to find the hypotenuse of the triangle. One can use the sine (sin) ratio to achieve this.

$sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$
