Answer:

 No . of people in department A =  350

No . of people in department B =  420

No . of people in department C = 504

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no . of people in department A be x

Given

Department B employs 70 people more than department A

Therefore,

no . of people in department B = x + 70

Again Given

department C employs 84 more workers than department B.

Therefore,

no . of people in department c = no . of people in department B + 84

no . of people in department c =  x + 70 + 84 = x + 154

Total no. of people in all the department in terms of x = x + x+ 70+ x+154

Total no. of people in all the department in terms of x = 3x +224

Problem says

Three departments of factory employ a total of 1274 people

Therefore

3x +224 = 1274

=> 3x = 1274 - 224 = 1050

=> x = 1050/3 = 350

Thus,

 no . of people in department A = x = 350

no . of people in department B = x + 70 = 350 + 70 = 420

no . of people in department c = x + 154 = 350 + 154 = 504

Stella [2.4K]

Down payment is 20% of the price of the home. Since the couple saved $35,000, and assuming they will pay the whole money as down payment, the highest priced home they can get is a price whose 20% is $35,000.

We can setup an equation in x (being the price of home) to get the price of the most expensive home they can buy.

<em>Which number (x) , multiplied by 20%, is equal to $35,000?</em>

<em>x(0.2)=35,000\\x=\frac{35,000}{0.2} \\x=175,000</em>

So, the most expensive house they can buy is worth $175,000.

Prove that the two circles shown below are similar. ​
Setler [38]

Answer:

The scale factor is \frac{R_{A}}{R_{C}}=\frac{5}{2}

<u>We can say that both circles are similar.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

If we move the little circle to the center of the bigger circle, so the <u>translate vector will be (3,5).</u>

Now we realize that the bigger circle is just a dilation of the smaller circle, the<u> scale factor is:</u>

R_{A}=5

R_{C}=2

\frac{R_{A}}{R_{C}}=\frac{5}{2}

Therefore, <u>we can say that both circles are similiar.</u>

<u />

I hope it helps you!
