Let the number of Sociology books =  y; the number of History books = x

⇒  x + y = 475   (2)
also since the number of history books sold was 83 less than sociology, 
then x = y - 83  (1)   

BY substituting (1) into (2)
⇒  (y - 83) + y = 475
                  2y = 475 + 83
                    y = (558 ÷ 2)
                    y = 279

⇒ x  =  279 - 83
     x  =  196

∴ Number of History books is 196 & number of Sociology books is 279.

In congruent figures, corresponding angles have equal measures. true or false?
algol [13]
This is true

Think of two houses. If we say "the houses are identical" then the corresponding pieces must be the same (eg: the doors must be the same type out of the same material). In this analogy, the houses are the triangles, which are the overall structures. The doors are the angles since they are pieces of the overall structures. This is what CPCTC is saying

CPCTC = Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent

Once again, the final answer is true.

Stefan sells Jin a bicycle for $137 and a helmet for $17. The total cost for Jin is 140% of what Stefan spent originally to buy
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Stefan originally spent $110.

Stefan made a profit of $44.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Stefan sold the bike and helmet for $137 and $17

Total amount = 137+17 = $154

This is 140% of the price Stefan originally paid.

Let,

x be the original price paid by Stefan

140% of x = $154

\frac{140}{100}x=154\\1.4x = 154\\\frac{1.4x}{1.4}=\frac{154}{1.4}\\x=110

Therefore,

Stefan originally paid $110 for the bicycle and helmet.

Profit made by Stefan = 154-110 = $44

Hence,

Stefan originally spent $110.

Stefan made a profit of $44.
