Jack was planting a tree. He was to dig a hole that was 3 feet deep for every 5 feet of tree height. How deep should he dig the hole for a tree that is 17feet high. 

Calculations 

\frac{DEEP}{HIEGHT} 

Cross multiplication

\frac{3 DEEP}{5 HIEGHT} = \frac{x}{13} 

5x = 2 x 13 

Divide by 5 to isolate x

\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{51}{5} 

x = 10.2 

Answer = 10.2

A one-topping pizza costs $15.00. Each additional topping costs $1.25. Let x be the number of additional toppings. You have $20
pantera1 [17]
So,

Our total will be equal to 20.  If we want 1 additional topping, we will have an additional $1.25.  <span>If we want 2 additional toppings, we will have an additional $2.50.  So we can just multiply the number of additional toppings by 1.25 to get the additional amount.

1.25x

However, you will have already spent $15.

1.25x + 15 = 20

This is option B.

P.S. You will be able to put exactly 4 additional toppings.</span>
