I'm pretty sure y is 25.5, since you multiply 4 by 4.25 to get 17, so 6 x 4.25 is 25.5
[8/(2x-2)=(8+6)/(3x)
8/(2x-2)=14/(3x)
14(2x-2)=8(3x)
28x-28=24x
x=7
So by using the similarity of the sides, we can make ratios that can give is the value of x.<span />
To determine the amount of gold plating necessary for the similar box, you will use the fact that it is 8 times larger in volume to determine how many times larger the area is. This would be what you will multiply $125 by.
Volume is a three dimensional measurement, so the fact that it is 8 times larger tells us each dimension was 2 times larger (2 x 2 x 2=8).
Area is a two dimensional measurement, so the area would have been 2 x 2 or 4 times larger. This means the price would be 4 times as much.
$125 x 4 = $500.
It will cost $500 to gold plate the similar jewelry box.
