Answer:

41.67 % ( to 2 dec. places )

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 2 dozen cookies were baked, that is 24 and 14 were left.

Then 10 were eaten.

Calculate the percentage eaten as

percentage = $\frac{numbereaten}{original}$ × 100%

percentage eaten = $\frac{10}{24}$ × 100% ≈41.67%

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ CED and Δ CAB are similar thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{CE}{CA}$ = $\frac{ED}{AB}$ , substitute values

$\frac{x}{156-x}$ = $\frac{7}{84}$ = $\frac{1}{12}$ ( cross- multiply )

12x = 156 - x ( add x to both sides )

13x = 156 ( divide both sides by 13 )

x = 12

Thus

AC = 156 - x = 156 - 12 = 144 → D
