Answer:

C. 60 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If triangles ABC and EDC are in a 1:1 relation, they are congruent, and  

    AC = EC

5x - 5 = 3x + 9

    5x = 3x + 14

    2x = 14

      x = 7

AC = 5x + 5 = 5(7) - 5 = 35 - 5 = 30 ft

EC = 3x + 9 = 3(7) + 9 = 21 + 9 = 30 ft

Distance between top and bottom of bridge = AC + EC = 30 + 30 = 60 ft

Answer:

Sale Price = $34.8 (answer). This means the cost of the item to you is $34.8. You will pay $34.8 for a item with original price of $43.50 when discounted 20%. In this example, if you buy an item at $43.50 with 20% discount, you will pay 43.50 - 8.7 = 34.8 dollars.
