x = 37.5 (or)
Solution:
Given
AC = 50, DE = 30, EC = 25, BE = x, BC = 25 + x
To find the value of x:
Property of similar triangles:
If two triangles are similar then the corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion.
Do cross multiplication, we get
Subtract 30x from both sides of the equation.
Divide by 20 on both sides of the equation, we get
x = 37.5 (or)
Hence the value of x is 37.5 or .
Initial balance, I = $2376.10 .
Total amount of purchase made, A = $( 875.22+65.75+45.22+21.23 ) = $1007.42 .
Total amount credit, c = $875.22 .
Fine, f = $45.30 .
Another purchase, .
So, balance left is :
B = I - A - f - a + c
B = 2376.10 - 1007.42 - 45.30 - 59.4025 + 875.22
B = $2139.1975
Hence, this is the required solution.
