Answer: $200

Explanation:

The employee pays $172.50 and he got 25% employee discount.

If the cost is $100, he pays $(100 - 25) = $75.

So, employee pays =  

100

75

⋅

172.50

= $230.00.

Again, price was increased by 15% last year. So whose cost is $100

is sold by $(100+15) = $115.

When sell price is $115, then cost price is $100. Then,

when sell price is $230, then cost price is  

100

115

⋅

230

= $200.

4. Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes
pentagon [3]

Answer:

y=\frac{5}{2}x-14

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

<u>What we need to know:</u>

  • Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0)
  • Parallel lines always have the same slope

<u>1) Determine the slope (m)</u>

y=\frac{5}{2}x-10

In the given equation, \frac{5}{2} is in the place of m, making it the slope. Because parallel lines have the same slope, the line we're currently solving for therefore has a slope of \frac{5}{2}. Plug this into y=mx+b:

y=\frac{5}{2}x+b

<u>2) Determine the y-intercept (b)</u>

y=\frac{5}{2}x+b

Plug in the given point (-6,-29) and solve for b

-29=\frac{5}{2}(-6)+b

Simplify -6 and 2

-29=\frac{5}{1}(-3)+b\\-29=(5)}(-3)+b\\-29=-15+b

Add 15 to both sides to isolate b

-29+15=-15+b+15\\-14=b

Therefore, the y-intercept is -14. Plug this back into y=\frac{5}{2}x+b:

y=\frac{5}{2}x-14

I hope this helps!

Please help with math
Andru [333]

Answer:

Scale factor  = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Using similar triangles

AT/AG = AB/AC

9/3 = x+10/3x-10

Cross multiply

3(x+10) = 9(3x-10)

Expand

3x+30 = 27x-90

3x-27x = -90 - 30

-24x = -120

x = 120/24

x = 5

For the larger triangle;

AC = 3x-10

AC = 3(5)-10

AC =15-10

AC = 5

AB = x+10

AB = 5+10

AB = 15

For the scale factor;

Since AT/AG = AB/AC

9/15 = 3/5

3*3/5*3 =3/5

Since the numerator and denominator of the larger triangle is multiplies by the same factor i.3 3. Hence the scale factor is 3
