let's notice something, angles α and β are both in the I Quadrant, and on the first quadrant the x-coordinate/cosine and y-coordinate/sine are both positive.

\bf \textit{Sum and Difference Identities} \\\\ cos(\alpha - \beta)= cos(\alpha)cos(\beta) + sin(\alpha)sin(\beta) \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ sin(\alpha)=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{15}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{17}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{adjacent side}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases}

\bf \pm\sqrt{17^2-15^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{64}=a\implies \pm 8 = a\implies \stackrel{I~Quadrant}{\boxed{+8=a}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ cos(\beta)=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{3}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{5}}\impliedby \textit{let's find the \underline{opposite side}} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases}

\bf \pm\sqrt{5^2-3^2}=b\implies \pm\sqrt{16}=b\implies \pm 4=b\implies \stackrel{\textit{I~Quadrant}}{\boxed{+4=b}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf cos(\alpha - \beta)=\stackrel{cos(\alpha)}{\left( \cfrac{8}{17} \right)}\stackrel{cos(\beta)}{\left( \cfrac{3}{5} \right)}+\stackrel{sin(\alpha)}{\left( \cfrac{15}{17} \right)}\stackrel{sin(\beta)}{\left( \cfrac{4}{5} \right)}\implies cos(\alpha - \beta)=\cfrac{24}{85}+\cfrac{60}{85} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill cos(\alpha - \beta)=\cfrac{84}{85}~\hfill

24) All percents are numbers with the decimal moved 2 to the right. So if you have 275%, move the decimal to the left twice to get a factor of 2.75. that means that the puppy is 2.75 times heavier at 4 months than it was at 2 months. Since you need the answer as a mixed fraction, your answer is;
2.75=2+\frac{3}{4}=2~\frac{3}{4}

28) If 6 of 75 trees are 30+ feet tall and you need to know how many are under, subtract 6 from 75 to get (75 - 6) = 69 trees under 30ft tall.
You're looking for the percent of trees under 30ft tall, so divide the number of trees <30ft by the total number of trees to get;
\frac{69}{75}= .92
Move the decimal 2 to the right to get 92%.
Your answer is that 92% of trees is under 30ft.
