Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
BC/DC = EC/AC , substitute values
3x×5/32 - 5x-5/56 ( cross- multiply )
56(3x - 5) = 32(5x - 5) ← distribute and simplify both sides
168x - 280 = 160x - 160 ( subtract 160x from both sides )
8x - 280 = - 160 ( add 280 to both sides )
8x = 120 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 15
Answer:
$500
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the original price of the camera through a proportion. A proportion is an equation where two ratios or fractions are equal. The ratios or fractions compare like quantities.
<u>Second Discount</u>
20% off means we paid 80%. We know we paid $328 of some price.
I can now cross-multiply by multiplying numerator and denominator from each ratio.
I now solve for y by dividing by 80.
The price after the first discount was $410.
<u>First Discount</u>
We will repeat the steps above with $410. 18% off means we paid 82%.
I can now cross-multiply by multiplying numerator and denominator from each ratio.
I now solve for y by dividing by 82.
The original price was $500.
