It is given in the question that
Anna buys 12 pens and 20 pencils for a total cost of $16. One pen costs $0.40 more than a pencil.
Let the cost of pencil is $ x .
Therefore cost of pen is

According to the question

Distributing 12 and combining like terms, we will get

Therefore cost of pencil is $0.35 and cost of pen is

Let's look at the corresponding ratios:

And we see that the three aren't equal.
Hence, $\Delta ABC$ and $\Delta EDC$ are not similar.
Answer:
256
Step-by-step explanation:
First, handle the exponent:
2²=4 (2*2=4) and 4³=64 (4*4=16*4=64)
Now multiply those two outcomes:
4*64=<u>256</u>
This equation is also known as 4⁴
So, this is a rate problem, so the forumla we would get is
2.5g=30
(Note this is not one of the choices), so if we look, there is an equivelent equation.
If we divide both sides by g we get
2.5=30/g
B is the correct answer
37 is 26%(rounded up to the nearest percent) of 144
