Answer: 64.29%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total earnings of the Lee family in May be x

Amount earned by Mr Lee in May = 60% of x = 0.6x

Amount earned by other family members in May = x - 0.6x (total earnings - Mr Lee's earnings) = 0.4x

Amount earned by Mr Lee in June = 20% more than what Mr Lee earned in May.

That is, amount earned by Mr Lee in June = 1.2 × 0.6x = 0.72x

Amount earned by other members of the family in June remains unchanged, that is = 0.4x

Total amount earned by the Lee family in June = 0.72x + 0.4x = 1.12x

Percentage of total earnings in June earned by Mr. Lee = (0.72x/1.12x) × 100% = 64.29%.

Find mZXZx(5t - 13°Y(3t+ 3)
trapecia [35]

The diagram provided is an isosceles triangle. An isosceles triangle has two sides having equal measure and two base angles also having equal measure.

From the marks on the triangle given, line ZX and line ZY are equal in length. This also means angle X and angle Y are equal in measure.

Therefore, we would have;

\begin{gathered} 5t-13=3t+3 \\ \text{Collect all like terms and you'll have,} \\ 5t-3t=3+13 \\ 2t=16 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 2} \\ \frac{2t}{2}=\frac{16}{2} \\ t=8 \\ \text{If t=8, then} \\ 5t-13=5(8)-13 \\ 5t-13=40-13 \\ 5t-13=27 \end{gathered}

This means angle X and angle Y both equal 27 degrees each.

Note that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180. Therefore, in triangle ZXY,
