Notice the tickmark on the angles, those angles are equal to each other.

now, notice the angle at the very top, the large triangle is really sharing it with smaller-inscribed triangle, and therefore is equal on both triangles.

therefore, the larger triangle, is similar with smaller-inscribed triangle by AA.

what the dickens does that mean?

\bf \cfrac{large}{small}\qquad \cfrac{4+5}{4}=\cfrac{5+x}{5}\implies \cfrac{9}{4}=\cfrac{5+x}{5}\implies 45=20+4x
\\\\\\
25=4x\implies \cfrac{25}{4}=x\implies 6\frac{1}{4}=x

Bob bought a broken motor scooter, repaired it, and sold the scooter for $130. That was $50 less than 1.5 times what he paid for
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer: $120

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the original price is x.

He sold the scooter for $130 and this was $50 less than 1.5 times what he paid for it.

Relevant formula is therefore:

1.5x - 50 = 130

1.5x = 130 + 50

x = 180/1.5

x = $120
