80% is equal to 220

1) Set up a proportion:
80/100=220/x

2) Simplify:
4/5=220/x

3) Solve by cross-multiplying:
4x=1100
x=275

Original Price: 275

80% of p = 220 (We know this as the sale price is 20% off, so there is still 80%)

0.8p = 220

p = 220/0.8 (This is because we are making p the subject of the formula)

p = 275 (If you are not allowed to use a calculator for this, then: 220/0.8 is the same as 2200/8 because we are just simply multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 10. This can be simply worked out by long division)

Complete the proof proving YUZ~VWZ
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

1. ΔXYZ is a right Δ with altitude YU.

Given

2. ΔXYZ ~ ΔYUZ

Right Triangle Altitude Similarity Theorem

3. VW || XY

Given

4. ∠VWZ ≅ ∠XYZ

Corresponding angles

5. ∠Z ≅ ∠Z

Reflexive property of congruence

6. ΔXYZ ~ ΔVWZ

AA Similarity postulate

7. ΔYUZ ~ ΔVWZ

Transitive property of similar triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

The first statement is given in the problem.  Since we know the altitude of a right triangle, we can use the Right Triangle Altitude Similarity Theorem to say that the triangles formed by the altitude are similar to each other and the original triangle.

Next, we are given in the problem statement that the lines VW and XY are parallel.  Therefore, ∠VWZ and ∠XYZ are corresponding angles, which makes them congruent.  And since ∠Z is equal to itself (by reflexive property), we can use AA similarity to say ΔXYZ and ΔVWZ are similar.

Finally, combining statements 2 and 6, we can use transitive property to say that ΔYUZ and ΔVWZ are similar.

How would I find x, I know it's an isosceles triangle but I so not know how to solve for it?????​
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

x=7 (if your teacher cares it could + or - 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, since it's a 90 degree triangle you can use the Pythagorean theorem

( a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

Since it's an isosceles triangle the other side is x because it's the same value.

x^2 + x^2= (7\sqrt{2} )^2

Add the left side

2x^2= 7^2 + \sqrt{2}^2 roots and square roots cancel each other out

So -> 2x^2= 49 x 2 =98

just solve for x.

x^2 = 98/2

x^2= 49

Square root both sides

x= 7

Divide each one out to see which is cheaper.  4.39/12 = .37 cents per pint while 2.89/8 = .36 cents per pint.  These are cost per unit problems.The second choice is the cheaper of 2 by a cent.
