Triangles JFE and JLK are similar provided that line segments FE and LK are parallel. This means that corresponding parts of these triangles occur proportionally to one another. In particular,
From this relation we get
Now we can solve for 
:
$1.35 x 10 = $13.50 for 10 gallons
$23.50 - $13.50 = $10.00
$1.35 x 7 = $9.45 for 7 more gallons
17 gallons is $22.45
17/27 = 459 miles but I'm missing the last bit of change so round it up to 460 for a total of miles
Answer:
y=12
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets write out the equation so it easy to work with.
7y=84
Divide both sides by 7
7y/7=84/7
Divide
y=12
Answer: A. 5,208
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 5,000 x .04 = 200 So, 4% of 5,000 is 200.
2. 5,000+200=5,2000 The closest answer to that is A.
Hope this helps :)
