Answer:

20°.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to both the diagram and the presented angle measure, m∠RPS + m∠QPR = m∠QPS.

(4x + 27) + (9x - 115) = 107

4x + 9x + 27 - 115 = 107

13x - 88 = 107

13x = 195

x = 15

Now that we have the value of x, we can find the m∠QPR.

9x - 115

= 9 * 15 - 115

= 135 - 115

= 20

So, m∠QPR is 20°.

Hope this helps!
