The answer is 80 ft.
Based on the diagram we know that the tree triangle and the building triangle are similar triangles where the lengths of each are proportional to the other.
The lengths of the triangle the tree makes are half of the lengths of the building triangle. So this problem can be solved using ratio and proportion:
to solve for x, all you need to do is cross multiply then divide.
The answer is then 80ft.
Another way to solve this is just by using logic. If the lengths of the tree triangle is half of the building, simply divide the lengths of the building triangle by two.
160ft/2 = 80ft.
Your answer is 35.75%.
Let’s pretend something at the store is $100. (It will save some math later)
100 - 35% leaves 65% (0.65 as a decimal)
100 x 0.65 = 65
That’s the price after the first discount. If we take 45% off of the sale price, we’ll be left with 55%, 0.55
65 x 0.55 = $35.75
Now normally you’d compare 35.75(sale price)/ 100(original price) to % off (x)/100, but doe this example, it’s unnecessary.
35.75/100 = x%/100
Answer:
Below in bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
80% is equivalen to 68 correct answers
1% .. .. .. 68/80 ..
100% ,, ,, ,, (68/80) * 100 = 85 questions.
