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

Gabrielle sees a 30% discount on potted plants at the nursery. She chooses 3 potted plants whose regular prices are $3.59, $4.25
malfutka [58]

Using proportions, it is found that she will pay $8.28 in total after the discount.

<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.

Before tax, the total price is given by:

P = 3.59 + 4.25 + 3.99 = $11.83.

She gets a 30% discount, hence the proportion she pays is 70% of this amount, hence:

P = 0.7 x 11.83 = $8.28.

She will pay $8.28 in total after the discount.
