The most she can pay for the jacket is $375 (=600/(100%+60%)) assuming this is the cost of the jacket before it sewn with metallic threads and beads. A markup is a difference between the production cost and the selling price in order to cover the additional cost related to the product. Based on the data, she wants to keep the 60% for covering the cost.
K(cannot equal (the = sign with the line through it) -2
k(=/)-2
If both triangles are congruent (that's what the sign means), then AD=CB, and CD=AB. Substituting what we are given into CD=AB,
6x-5=3x+10
Solving the equation:
3x=15
x=5
So we know that 2x+4 (the value of AD) becomes 2*5 +4, and you get 14. Since we know that AD=CB, then CB is also 14. No need to find y!
Answer: CB=14
Please provide more context for our brains to understand your problem (: thank you!
