Step-by-step explanation:
Express the fraction as number of houses over number of businesses, that is
ratio = 
Divide numerator and denominator by 5 for simplest form
ratio =
To remember the ratios, use the mnemonic sohcahtoa.
S = O/H
C = A/H
T = O/A
In this case, we want S, sin. The side opposite angle X would be 24. The hypotenuse is 26, so the ratio is 24/26. <span />
To get how many customers Sam has, write an equation that will relate to the gross profit. Let n be the customers. Since for 52 weeks, Sam charges $25 per week per person, multiply n by the number of weeks and the charge. The equation is written as $88,400 = 52 weeks x $25 per week x n persons. Divide $88,400 by the product of 52 weeks and the $25 charge. The answer will be 68. The annual operating expense $48,000 is just there to make confusion.
