Answer:
<h2>a = 16</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the picture.
The formula of an area of a trapezoid is:

- bases
- height
We have:

Substitute:

<em>divide both sides by 8</em>

Answer:
We are given the initial price of a car and we are also told that the car sold for a 15% profit which means that the price that the car was sold for is 15% more than it's initial price. This is just a simple multiplication problem which we multiply the initial price by the total percentage plus 0.15




Therefore, our final answer is that the selling price was $5980

Answer:
<em>a:b:c=8:12:15</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Combined Ratio</u>
We are given the ratios:
a:b=2:3
b:c=4:5
The combined ratio a:b:c will include all three variables in one single expression.
Before finding it, we must have a common number for the common variable (b). Since b is 3 in the first ratio and 4 in the second ratio, we must equate both by finding the LCM of 3 and 4=12, thus both ratios will be amplified as follows:
a:b=2:3=(2*4):(3*4)=8:12
b:c=4:5=(4*3):(5*3)=12:15
Now there is a common factor in both ratios, we can combine them removing the common factor:
a:b:c=8:12:15
The answer to this equation is x=4.
