Answer:

Shane had $240 at the beginning of his trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Shane returned from a trip to Las Vegas with $420 and this is 75% more of at the beginning.

Let us assume the money he carried at the beginning of the trip was $x

At present he is having 75% more means total money he has = x+75% of x

This total amount is equal to $420

Therefore x + .75x = 420

x(1 +.75) =420

1.75 x = 420

Now by dividing both sides by 1.75

x = 420÷1.75

   = $240

Therefore the amount he carried in the beginning of the trip is $240.

Two similar triangular prisms have volumes of 27 square meters and 64 square meters.
Inessa [10]

Answer:

9/16

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to know that the dimensions ratio, the surface area ratio and the volume ratio have the following relation:

volume ratio = dimension ratio ^3

surface area ratio = dimension ratio ^2

The volume ratio between small prism and the large prism is 27 / 64.

To find the dimensions ratio, we need to take the cubic root of the volume scale:

dimension ratio = 3√(27/64) = 3/4

Now, to find the surface area ratio, we just need to make the square of the dimension ratio:

surface area ratio = (3/4)^2 = 9/16
