Answer:
-17
Step-by-step explanation:
Ans. - 17
We just substitute the values of a, b and c and find the answer
So the question is
:
5% of total sale is 125
'of' means mutiply
'is' means equals
percent means parts out of 100
5%=5/100=1/20
so now we have
1/20 times total sale=125
multiply both sides by 20 to clear fraction
20/20 times total sale=2500
1 times total sale=2500
total sale=2500
answer is total sale=$2500<span />
Supplementary means that the angles have to add up to 180, so you have your equation.
180=5x+17x-18
198=22x
x=9
Then to find the measures of the angles, you plug x back in.
m∠ABD=5(9)=45 degrees
m∠BDE=17(9)-18=153-18=135 degrees
Ratios shall be used
Selling 3x as many tie-dyed as silk is the equivalent of ratio 3:1 (Three tie dies for 1 silk)
Add up the total numbers in the ratio (By that I mean 3 + 1) to get 4
Divide the total number sold by 4 to get 42
Multiply 42 by 3 (The number of tie dyes sold in the ratio) to get 126
126 tie-dyed shirts were sold
