Answer:

$24

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 25% is off the price of the shirt, she bought the shirt at 75% of it's cost price. This difference between the full cost and the 75% is what she saved (i.e. 25% was the savings)

So, if the shirt costs x dollars:

$6 = 25% of x

= ( 25/100)*X = 0.25X

X = $6/0.25 = $6x4

X = $24

Answer:

c = 41 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the pythagorean theorem, which is defined by the formula $a^2+b^2=c^2$ . We are given both the lengths of the legs, so all we need to do is to plug them both in and solve for c:

$9^2+40^2 = c^2\\c^2 = 81 + 1600\\c^2 = 1681\\c = 41$

This is the first option.

Given the information below, QRS is UVT similar to ? If so, give the scale factor.

$Look\ at\ the\ picture.\\\\\Delta QRS\sim\Delta UVT\ if\ \frac{|QR|}{|UV|}=\frac{|RS|}{|VT|}\\\\\frac{|QR|}{|UV|}=\frac{8}{18}=\frac{4}{9}\\\\\frac{|RS|}{|VT|}=\frac{16}{34}=\frac{8}{17}\\\\Answer:A.\ No,\ the\ triangles\ are\ not\ similar.$
