Answer:

£2.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Badly worded, as they oftena are! But to me it means

30% spent

60% saved (I.e also taken away and put somewhere else)

10% leftover equals 20p

So 20p equals 10% of what she originally had, so 100% must be £2.00, does that make sense?

X + 7y = 21 x + 4y = 15 Solve the simultaneous equations

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

x = 7, y = 2

Explanation:

equations given:

x + 7y = 21

x + 4y = 15

make "x" the subject:

x + 7y = 21

x = 21 - 7y .........equation 1

x + 4y = 15

x = 15 - 4y .......equation 2

Solving both the equations simultaneously:

15 - 4y = 21 - 7y

-4y + 7y = 21 - 15

3y = 6

y = 6 ÷ 3

y = 2

If y is 2

Then x = 21 -7y;

x = 21 - 7(2)

x = 21 - 14

x = 7

Is 6200 ft greater or less than 1 mile 900 ft

Sphinxa [80]

1 mile is equal to 5280 feet

Add 900 to it:

5280 + 900 = 6180

6180 is less than 6200, so 1 mile and 900 feet is less than 6200 feet.

Kayla wants to find the width, AB, of a river. She walks along the edge of the river 65 ft and marks point C. Then she walks 25

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Part A) The triangles ABC and EDC are similar by AAA, because the three internal angles are equal in both triangles

Part B) The width of the river is about $39\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and its corresponding angles are congruent

Part A) we know that

In this problem , triangles ABC and CDE are similar by AAA, because its corresponding angles are congruent

m<DCE=m<ACB -----> by vertical angles

m<EDC=m<ABC -----> is a right angle

m<DEC=m<CAB -----> the sum of the internal angles must be equal to 180 degrees

Part B) we know that

The triangles ABC and EDC are similar -------> see Part A

therefore

$\frac{BC}{DC}=\frac{AB}{DE}$

substitute the values and solve for AB

$\frac{65}{25}=\frac{AB}{15}$

$AB=15*(\frac{65}{25})=39\ ft$
