Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{BC}{EC} = \frac{AC}{DC}, substituting values

\frac{21}{7} = \frac{24-x}{x} ( cross- multiply )

21x = 7(24 - x) ← distribute

21x = 168 - 7x ( add 7x to both sides )

28x = 168 ( divide both sides by 28 )

x = 6 → C

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

<u>212,400 items</u> were sold in 10 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Items sold this month = 70,800

Percent Increase in every month = 20%

We need to find number of items sold in coming 10 months.

Solution:

First we will find number of items increase in each month.

number of items increase in each month can be calculated by Percent Increase in every month multiplied by Items sold this month and the divided by 100.

number of items increase in each month = \frac{20}{100} \times 70800 = 14,160

Now we will find number of item sold in 10 months.

number of item sold in 10 months is equal to sum of Items sold this month and number of items increase in each month multiplied by 10.

framing in equation form we get;

number of item sold in 10 months = 70800+10\times 14160 = 212,400

Hence <u>212,400 items</u> were sold in 10 months.
