Let r represent cost of each box.
We have been given that Mia bought 10 boxes of brownies. So cost of 10 boxes would be .
We have been given that Mia bought 10 boxes of brownies at the store for a total of $64. The tax on the purchase was $5. So the total cost of 10 boxes would be cost of 10 boxes plus tax.
We can represent this information in an equation as:
We can subtract 64 from both sides as:
Therefore, our required equation is and option 'c' is the correct choice.
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we have that
Step 1
<u>Find the value of AC</u>
we know that
in the right triangle ABC
substitute the values in the formula
Step 2
<u>Find the value of BC</u>
we know that
in the right triangle ABC
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem
substitute the values
Step 3
<u>Find the value of BD</u>
we know that
in the right triangle BCD
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem
substitute the values
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the length of BD is 11.93 units
