For this case we have:

Let p be the highest price of the TV that Meg can buy

We have to:

5% of p is given by:

0.05p

So, we have:

p + 0.05p = 350

Clearing p we have:

1.05p = 350

p=\frac{350}{1.05}\\p=333.33

Thus, the highest price of the television that Meg purchases should be p = 333.33dollars.

Answer:

p + 0.05p = 350\\p = 333.33

The points J, K, L and M all lie on the same line segment, in that order, such that the ratio of JK:KL:LMJK:KL:LM is equal to 1:
RideAnS [48]

Answer: JL = 25

Step-by-step explanation: Segment JM is the total measure of the line segment and it equals 45.

Suppose first segment JK measures d.

The total ratio is the sum of each part

d + 4d + 4d = 9d

The sum of each part corresponds to the total measure of the line segment. Then:

9d = 45

d = 5

Segment JL is

JL = d + 4d

JL = 5d

JL = 5.5

JL = 25

Segment JL measures 25 units.
