2x^2 + 25x + 50 not sure about the steps
The two triangles are similar, so will have a direct scale factor. We can find this by using the given measurements, 10÷8=1.25. So the scale factor from the smaller to the bigger triangle is 1.25. This means that 1.25×(x+6)=AE. We can solve this as we would with a regular linear equation:
1.25(x+6)=2x+6
1.25x+7.5=2x+6
1.5=0.75x
2=x
∴ AE is 2x+6=10
Given:
a. 35% of 150 g
b. 113% of $55
To find:
The correct values for the given blanks.
Solution:
a. 35% of 150 g
Here, the percent part is 35% and percent whole is 100%.
35% of 150 g is:

So, the number part is 52.5 g and the whole number is 150 g.
Therefore, the percent part is 35%, number part is 52.5 g and the whole number is 150 g.
b. 113% of $55 g
Here, the percent part is 113% and percent whole is 100%.
113% of $55 is:

So, the number part is $62.15 and the whole number is $55.
Therefore, the percent part is 113%, number part is $62.15 and the whole number is $55.
1.086 rounded to the nearest whole number would remain as one.
This is due to the fact that the tenths place does not have any number, and due to this the whole number would remain one.
If the number were to change, it would look as the following:
1.5 rounded to the nearest whole number 2.
