Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 3:

Let LM = x

OK = KP = 12 units [Radii of circle K]

LN = LP = 8 units [Radii of circle L]

Therefore, KL = KP + PL

KL = 12 + 8

= 20 units

Step 4:

Since, ΔKOM and ΔLNM are the similar triangles,

By the property of two similar triangles, corresponding sides of these similar triangles will be proportional.

$\frac{OK}{NL}=\frac{KM}{LM}$

$\frac{12}{8}=\frac{x+20}{x}$

12x = 8(x + 20) [By cross multiplication]

12x = 8x + 160

12x - 8x = 160

4x = 160

x = 40

Clem Colfax had $10 to buy groceries. He needed milk costing 70 cents a carton, bread costing 60 cents a loaf, breakfast cereal

zaharov [31]

Cost of milk per carton = $ 70 cents = 70/100 = $0.7
Cost of bread per loaf = $60 cents = 60/100 = $0.6
Cost of cereals per box = $50 cents = 50/100 = $0.5
Cost of meat per pound = $1.50

If x is the number of cartons of milk bought, then
Number of loafs = x/2
Number pf boxes of cereals = x/2 +1
Number of pounds of meat = x/2 +1

Therefore,
0.7*x + 0.6*x/2 + 0.5 (x/2+1) + 1.5 (x/2+1) = 10
0.7x + 0.3x + 0.25x + 0.5 + 0.75x + 1.5 = 10
2x + 2 =10
2x = 8
x = 4

Substituting;
Milk cartons = 4
Number of bread = 4/2 = 2
Boxes of cereals = 2+1 = 3
Pounds of meat = 3

A group of church members chartered a bus for $832. After making the arrangements, 6 more members decided to join the excursion

g100num [7]

Let x = # of original members
Cost per person (originally) = 832/x
Cost per person after 6 more people = 832/(x+6)
Solve 832/x=832/(x+6) +6 (because the cost was reduced by 6
Solve for x.
x = 26 or -32 (but x is number of members, so it can't be negative)
# of original members is 26.
Original cost is 832/26 = $32 per person.
