Answer:

  • ΔABC ~ ΔPQR
  • PQ = 8
  • PR = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles A and P are marked congruent; angles B and Q are marked congruent, so the triangles are similar by the AA similarity postulate. The similarity statement can be written ...

  ΔABC ~ ΔPQR by AA similarity

__

The ratio of sides of PQR to ABC is the ratio QR/BC = 12/6 = 2. That is, each side in the larger triangle is 2 times the length of the corresponding smaller side.

  PQ = 2·AB = 2·4 = 8

  PR = 2·AC = 2·7 = 14

The side lengths of interest are ...

  PQ = 8, PR = 14

The price of a sweatshirt at a local shop is twice the price of a pair of shorts. The price of a T-shirt at the shop is $4 less
fomenos

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1

                            $sweatshirt = 2 pair of shorts

                                    <u>  w = 2h</u>

Equation 2

$t-shirt = $pair of shorts  - $4

                                <u>      t = h - 4</u>

Equation 3

Total cost = 3 sweatshirts + 2 pairs of shorts + 5 t-shirts

<u>Total cost = 3w + 2h + 5t = 136 </u>

A store has clearance items that have been marked down by 60% they having a sale, advertising an additional 30% off clearance it
bagirrra123 [75]

The original price is 100% of the price. If the price is marked 60% off, then you pay 40% of the original price.

An item costs x dollars.

With the 60% off discount, it now costs 40% of x, or 0.4x.

Now you apply a 30% discount.

For the second discount, consider the price 0.4x to be the new original price. If the price is now discounted 30%, you will pay 70% of the new original price.

Start with 0.4x.

Now calculate 70% of 0.4x.

70% of 0.4x = 0.70 * 0.4x = 0.28x

After applying the 60% discount and the 30% discount, the item that originally cost x now costs 0.28x. 0.28x is the same as 28% of x. The amount you pay is 28% of the original price.

Answer: 28%
