Answer: the school paid $80 for the book.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the amount that the school paid for the book.
Her school charges a lost book fee equal to 75% of the cost of the book. It means that the amount that the school would charge on a book that cost $x is
75/100 × x = 0.75 × x = 0.75x
Sarah received a notice stating that she owed the school $60 for he lost book. It means that
0.75x = 60
x = 60/0.75
x = $80
Hello!
As you can see, 3x+9 makes a right angle, or 90 degrees. We can turn this into an equation and solve for x.
3x+9=90
First we subtract 9 from both sides.
3x=81
Then divide both sides by 3.
x=27
Therefore, x=27.
I hope this helps!
