Let's find the difference between the prices.

2.86-2.81=0.05; now let's see what percent 0.05 is of 2.81.

0.05/2.81

0.0178= 1.78%=1.8%

So, it increased about 1.8%.

Basically you don't need to find x to know the scale factor ,

3. Janet is flying a kite on a string that is 75m long. The kite is 62m above the ground. Estimate the distance between Janet an
konstantin123 [22]
Answer: a) It will be a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 75 and a vertical leg that is 62. 
b) The length of the kite string is 75 (given in the problem). However, I believe you are looking for the distance from the spot on the ground beneath the kite to Janet. That is about 42.2 m.

To find the missing distance in the right triangle. You have to use the Pythagorean Theorem.  I set it up and solve it below.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + 62^2 = 75^2
x^2 + 3844 = 5625
x^2 = 1781
x = 42.2 (about)
