Answer:

108

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • let the oldest one = 5x
  • Let the youngest one = 3x
  • Let the middle one = 4x

Equation

  • 3x + 18 = 5x  

Solution

  • 3x + 18 = 5x                         Subtract 3x from both sides
  • 3x - 3x + 18 = 5x - 3x          Combine
  • 18 = 2x                                 Divide by 2
  • 18/2 = 2x/2                          Divide
  • x = 9

Answer

  • 3x = 3*9 = 27
  • 5x = 5*9 = 45
  • 4x = 4*9 = 36
  • The sum is 108

This is a very tricky problem. It is not the usual way that 3 part ratios are handled. Thanks for posting.

May you please help me figure out every angle?​
djyliett [7]

Answer:

<D = 82°

<E = 49°

<F = 49°

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an isosceles triangle because two of the sides are the same length which means the 2 bottom angles are the exact same which means we can set them equal to each other to solve for it.

What percent is the change in the price if the price was $100 and now it is $1250?
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

  1150%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage change is ...

  percentage change = (amount of change)/(original amount) × 100%

  = ((new amount) - (original amount))/(original amount) × 100%

  = ($1250 -$100)/$100 × 100%

  = 1150/100 × 100%

  = 1150%
