Can someone please go over to my page and help me with this problem, its worth 99 points,no joke
Set up ratios of height / shadow length:
8/6 = x/100
Cross multiply
6x = 800
Divide both sides by 6
X = 133.33 feet
The tower is 133.3 feet
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2
Amount earned by Sharon per item sold = $25
Base salary of Sharon per week = $100
Amount that needs to be earned by Sharon per week = $700
Let us assume the number of items sold by Sharon per week = x
Then
100 + 25x = 700
25x = 700 - 100
25x = 600
x = 600/25
= 24
So Sharon needs to sell 24 items to earn a total of $700 per week. I hope you have understood the method of solving such problems.
