Answer:

The sirt cost $7.5 before tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the pair of slacks cost twice as much as the shirt, we have:

slacks = 2*shirt

And the total purchase was $22.5, so we have:

slacks + shirt = 22.5

We can create a system of equations such as:

slacks = 2*shirt

slacks + shirt = 22.5

If we apply the first formula on the second we can solve for the value of the shirt, we have:

2*shirt + shirt = 22.5

3*shirt = 22.5

shirt = 22.5/3 = 7.5

So the slacks cost:

slacks = 2*7.5 = 15

A pizza parlor offers 3 sizes of pizzas, 2 types of crust, and one of 4 different toppings. How many different pizzas can be mad

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer: The total number of pizzas that can be made from the given choices is 24.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a pizza parlor offers 3 sizes of pizzas, 2 types of crust, and one of 4 different toppings.

We are to find the number of different pizzas that can be made from the given choices.

We have the <em><u>COUNTING PRINCIPLE :</u></em>

If we have m ways of doing one task and n ways of doing the second task, then the number of ways in which we can do both the tasks together is m×n.

Therefore, the number of different pizzas that can be made from the given choices is

$N=3\times2\times4=24.$

Thus, the total number of pizzas that can be made from the given choices is 24.

Triangle abc has been dilated to form triangle a'b'

konstantin123 [22]

It is needed at least one more piece of information.

If you call k the ratio a'b' / ab , the addtional information may be tha cb' has the same ratio to cb or that ca' has the same ratio to ca.

It migh also be that the angle at the vertex C has not changed.
