Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Trey sold his $80 hockey stick for 25% less. This means that he received 75% of the $80. Convert the percentage to a decimal, so it will be .75. Multiple .75 by $80 and you will get the final answer which is $60.

Brandon sold his $80 hockey stick for 30% less. This means that he received 70% of the $80. Convert the percentage to a decimal, so it will be .70. Multiple .70 by $80 and you will get the final answer which is $56.

Trey received $4 more for his hockey stick.

You are at the bottom of a mountain where the temperature is 74°F. The top of the mountain is 5500 feet above you. What is the t

KIM [24]

For every 1,000 feet you go up in elevation, the temperature decreases by about 3.3°F

Given:

Temperature at the bottom of the mountain is 74°F

The top of the mountain is 5500 feet above you

Change (reduction) in temperature is 3.3 X 5500 / 1000

= 18.15°F

Temperature at the top of the mountain is 74°F – 18.15°F

= 55.85°F

Solve for x. The triangles in each pair are similar.

KatRina [158]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to pay very close attention to the triangle similarity statement. This says that triangle NML is similar to triangle NVU. But if you look at the way that triangle NVU is oriented in its appearance, it's laying on its side. We need to set it upright so that angle N is the vertex angle, angle V is the base angle on the left, and angle U is the base angle on the right. When we do that we see that sides NV and NM are corresponding and exist in a ratio to one another; likewise with sides VU and ML. Setting up the proportion:

$\frac{NV}{NM}=\frac{VU}{ML}$
