He spend: 1440*2.5=3600
he earn: 0.25*1440*12=4320
[because he sells 0.25/each and buy 1440 dozen so 1440*12]

4320-3600=720

Angle B is 45% of angle A. Angle C is 35% of angle A. What is the measurement of angle A?

mafiozo [28]

We assume , A, B, and C are angles of a triangle.
The sum of angles of a triangle is equal to 180º; therefore:
A+B+C=180º

B is 45% of angle A; then B=0.45A
C is 35% of anble A; Then C=0.35A

We can suggest this equation;
A+0.45A+0.35A=180
1.8A=180
A=180/1.8
A=100

Answer: The measurement of angle A is 100º.

deff fn [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\\ \tt{:}\leadsto \frac{2 - 3x}{4 - 8} = \frac{3x}{4} \\ \\ \tt{:}\leadsto 4(2 - 3x) = 3x(4 - 8) \\ \\ \tt{:}\leadsto 8 - 12x = 3x( - 4) \\ \\ \tt{:}\leadsto 8 - 2x = - 12x \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \tt{:}\leadsto 8 = - 12x + 2x \\ \\ \tt{:}\leadsto 8 = - 10x \\ \\ \tt{:}\leadsto x = \frac{ - 10}{8} \\ \\ \tt{:}\leadsto x = \frac{ - 5}{4}$
