Answer:

there are 300 chapter books in the children's section

Step-by-step explanation:

the way you'd solve these kinds of problems is to turn it into an equation.

the ratio of 2:3 with a total of 500

<em>becomes</em>

2x + 3x = 500

2x + 3x = 500

<em>combine like terms </em>

5x = 500

<em>divide both sides of the equation by 5</em>

5x/5 = 500/5

x = 100

<em>now, substitute x in the original equation.</em>

2x + 3x = 500

200 + 300 = 500

There are <u>300</u> chapter books

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

He makes a guaranteed salary of $400 per week

Commision on top of his base salary equal to 25% of his total sales for the week

Required

His total salary when he made sales of 25%

Step two

The triangles are similar. What is the value of x?
jok3333 [9.3K]
Given that the two triangles are similar:
\frac{7}{28} =  \frac{25}{6x + 28}
\frac{1}{4} = \frac{25}{6x + 28}
6x + 28 = 4 x 25
6x + 28 = 100
6x = 100 - 28
6x = 72
x = 12
