Answer:

$225.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the  price before taxes be x dollars. Then we have the equation:

x + 7% of x = 240.75

x + 0.07x = 240.75

1.07x = 240.75

x = 240.75/1.07

= $225.

A city block has 6 pigeons and then 1 week later there are 9 pigeons. Let P(t)be the number of pigeons where t is measured in we
Pavel [41]

Using proportions, it is found that the differential equation which describes the growth of the pigeon population is given by:

\frac{dP}{dt} = 1.5P

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, considering the initial population and the population one week later, the rate of growth is given by:

k = 9/6 = 1.5.

The standard differential equation for population growth is:

\frac{dP}{dt} = kP

Hence:

\frac{dP}{dt} = 1.5P

One number is 6 more than twice another. If their sum is 51, find the numbers.
joja [24]

Answer:

y=2x+6 ; x+y=51

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming x is one number and y is the other -

one number (y) is 6 more (+6) than twice another (2x) -

using that knowledge we form an equation -

y=2x+6

the sum (x+y) is 51

using this knowledge we can make the equation -

x+y=51

now you have -

y=2x+6 or 2x-y=-6

x+y=51

using system of equations -

you add the equations -

3x=45

x=15

y=51-x => y=36

hope this helps!!

Triangle DEF (not shown) is similar to ABC shown, with angle B congruent to angle E and angle C congruent to angle F. The length
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Area of ΔDEF is 45\ cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

ΔABC and  ΔDEF is similar and ∠B ≅ ∠E.

Length of AB = 2\ cm and

Length of DE = 6\ cm

Area of ΔABC = 5\ cm^2

Solution,

Since, ΔABC and  ΔDEF is similar and ∠B ≅ ∠E.

Therefore,

\frac{Area\ of\ triangle\ 1}{Area\ of\ triangle\ 2} =\frac{AB^2}{DE^2}

Where triangle 1 and triangle 2 is  ΔABC and  ΔDEF respectively.

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of the area of both triangles is proportional to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.

\frac{5}{Area\ of\ triangle\ 2} =\frac{2^2}{6^2}\\ \frac{5}{Area\ of\ triangle\ 2}=\frac{4}{36}\\ Area\ of\ triangle\ 2=\frac{5\times36}{4} =5\times9=45\ cm^2

Thus the area of  ΔDEF is 45\ cm^2.
