Answer:

\huge\boxed{\$6\dfrac{2}{3}\approx\$6.67}

Step-by-step explanation:

\bold{METHOD\ 1:}\\\\\begin{array}{ccc}12&-&\$4.00\\\\20&-&\$x\end{array}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\12x=(20)(4)\\\\12x=80\qquad\text{divide both sides by 12}\\\\x=\dfrac{80}{12}\\\\x=\dfrac{20}{3}\\\\x=6\dfrac{2}{3}\Rightarrow x\approx6.67

\bold{METHOD\ 2:}\\\\12\ \text{pencils cost}\ \$4.00.\\\\1\ \text{pencil cost}\ \$4.00:12=\$\dfrac{4}{12}=\$\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\20\ \text{pencils cost}\ \$\dfrac{1}{3}\times20=\$\dfrac{20}{3}=\$6\dfrac{2}{3}\approx\$6.67

Based on one of the Triangle Congruence Postulates, the two triangles are shown are congruent
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

all the sides match up. One side (the base) is shared which means they are the same length. The triangle at the top has a single hash on a side and so does the bottom one. This means they are the same length. The same thing occurs with the last remaining sides, they are congruent because they both have two hash lines. Since all three sides of both triangle add up, the triangles ARE CONGRUENT.
