Triangles ABC and A'B'C are similar. This means that the corresponding sides are in the same ratio, in this case:

$\frac{BC}{B^{\prime}C}=\frac{AC}{A^{\prime}C}=\frac{AB}{A^{\prime}B^{\prime}}$

Replacing with data:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{9}{6}=\frac{12}{A^{\prime}B^{\prime}} \\ 9\cdot A^{\prime}B^{\prime}=12\cdot6 \\ A^{\prime}B^{\prime}=\frac{72}{9} \\ A^{\prime}B^{\prime}=8 \end{gathered}$

The current value of a baseball card is 50 times its original value v (in dollars). The baseball card is worth $62. Write and so

ehidna [41]

If the current value of the baseball car is 50 times its original value, its original value will be its current value divided by 50.

Let $v$ represent the current value of the baseball card. We know form our problem that $62 is 50 times the original value, $v$ , of the baseball card, so translating this statement to an equation we get:
$62=50v$
$v= \frac{62}{50}$
$v=1.24$

We can conclude that the original value of the baseball card was $1.24.
