Upon calculating, the correct answer among the choices listed above is lake A and lake E. Both lakes have the same proportion of the numbers of crocodiles and alligators.

In the lake A, there are 4 crocodiles and 5 alligators giving a ratio of 4:5
In the lake E, there are 24 crocodiles and 30 alligators giving a ratio of 24:30

Since 4:5 = 24:30, we will prove it.

First, we need to transform both ratios into fraction form to make it easier.

4/5 = 24/30

The next thing to do is to find their decimal forms by dividing their numerators to their respective denominators.

<u>4 ÷ 5 = 0.8</u>
<u>24 ÷ 30 = 0.8</u>

Thus, giving us:

0.8 = 0.8 ; Therefore, lake A and lake E are of the same proportion.

Mitch completes the course and his boss promotes him. Mitch receives a 25% increase on his previous pay of $40 000 per year afte
kolezko [41]

Before her promotion, Mitch was receiving $40,000 per year after tax. Since the loan payment is 4%, therefore the money that goes to the loan is:

Loan payment = $40,000 * 0.04

Loan payment = $1,600

 

After her promotion, Mitch is now receiving:

 New salary = $40,000 * 1.25

New salary = $50,000

Therefore the new loan payment becomes:

New loan payment = $50,000 * 0.04

New loan payment = $2,000

 

Therefore Mitch is paying an extra payment of:

$2,000 - $1,600 = $400

 

Answer: $400
