You must divide the larger by the smaller... That will give you the scale factor.
For example: Rectangles 10 x 20 and 5 x 10
the scale factor us 10/5 = 20/10 = 2
Hope this helps.
We can get rid of the parentheses so it looks like this:
3x + 24x + 8.
Simplify:
27x + 8
C
Let x be the cost of banana
Michael: 4x=2.72
Divide by 4 : x =.68
Tonya: 6x= 4.08
x = .68 divide by 6
$9802.90
17.4% = 0.174
so retail price = 8,350 + 8,350 * 0.174
= $9802.90
