A) 13 students
b) 13 students
c) 37 students
30 / 500 = x / 900....$ 30 tax / 500 item = $ x tax on 900 item
cross multiply
(500)(x) = (900)(30)
500x = 27000
x = 27000/500
x = 54 <===
X = 45.
Since opposite exterior angles are congruent, you can set the 2 values equal to each other. When you solve for x, you should get 45.
