Answer:
d is the right answer for your question
1) The triangles are similar, so correponding sides have the same ratio.
.. 3x/20 = (4x +2)/28
.. 3x/5 = (4x +2)/7 . . . . . . . multiply by 4
.. 7*3x = 5(4x +2) . . . . . . . multiply by 35 = 5*7
.. 21x = 20x +10 . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
.. x = 10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 20x
2) The triangles are similar, so corresponding measures have the same ratio.
.. x/42 = 10/15
.. x = 42*(10/15) = 28
3) The third angle of triangle ABC is 180° -20° -80° = 80°. Then two of the angles of ABC match those of JKL. The 3rd answer selection is appropriate.
The best thing to do is to find what 1% is, and you can do this by dividing 150 by 100.
150/100= 1.5
As you're looking for 6.5%, you've got to multiply 1.5 by 6.5
1.5*6.5= 9.75
You've then got to add 9.75 and 150 together
150+9.75= $159.75
Therefore, after the sales tax, the cost of the necklace is $159.75
Hope this helps :)
