Answer:
Notebooks= 8.75
computer bags=74.95
Amount with tax = Approximately 89.559
The correct answer would be Choice B: 4 square units.
When the scale factor is 1/5, that means the lengths of the sides are 1/5 of the original size. So instead of having a base of 20 and height of 10, the new triangle has a base of 4 and a height of 2.
The area of the triangle is: (4 x 2) / 2 = 4
The initial step that must be taken before solving almost any problem is to understand what the problem is asking for us to do and what is provided to us to complete that goal. Looking at the problem statement, we can see that we are being requested to solve for h and we are provided an expression to do so. Let's begin solving the expression by combining like terms.
<u>Combine like terms</u>
Just a quick explanation on what combine like terms means, it basically just means to combine the coefficients of the numbers associated with the same variables. Like in this example we can combine h and -3h because they have have the variable h associated with them.
<u>Add 8 to both sides</u>
<u>Divide both sides by -2</u>
<u>Simplify the expression</u>
Therefore, after completing the steps above we were able to determine that the value of h is equal to -11.
1/3 (0.333,,,) is 0.05666... away from 0.39 .
2/5 (0.4) is 0.01 away .
3.8 (0.375) is 0.015 away .
9/25 (0.36) is 0.3 away .
2/5 is the closest one.
