$48
30 divided by 5 is 6. Multiply that by 3(3/8) to get 18
18+30=48

The answer is that she had 48. Set it up as an equation with x as the amount of money she started with. x - 30 = 3/8x. That says, in words, "the amount of money she started with minus 30 for the dress left her with 3/8 of the money she started with. Solve for x by adding 30 to both sides and subtracting 3/8 from 8/8x (8/8 = 1). 8/8 - 3/8 = 5/8, so 5/8x = 30, multiply both sides by 8 to get 5x=240 and x = 48.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A circle circumscribed over a right triangle is the same as a circle circumscribed over a rectangle built from the extension of the right triangle.

That tells us that the hypotenuse is the diameter of the circle in that case.

Here, we can see a triangle that has the hypotenuse as the diameter of the circumscribed circle. We can infer that the triangle is a right triangle.
