Line BE and KE are the same length, so set the 2 equations to equal and solve for P.
7p+7 = 37-3p
Add 3 p to both sides:
10p +7 = 37
Subtract 7 from each side:
10p = 30
Divide both sides by 10:
p = 30/10
p = 3
The answer is B.

Answer:
When you fill in the blanks you get ($0.25*x)+(0.1*y)+(0.05*z). When you evaluate it you get $1.35, which is the total amount of change in her pocket.
Step-by-step explanation:
All of the numbers that are given in the equation are values of the coins (ex: a quarter is worth $0.25) and the variables are the different coins. Multiply the quantity of each coin (that's the variable) by its value then add them together. Finally, plug in the numbers it gives you for x, y, and z.
We need to find out how much 17 percent of 2,500 is, and then subtract that amount by 2,500. We can use proportions to use this. We can set up a fraction with x/2500 and another fraction with 17/100. Then, we need to cross multiply. This gives us 42,500. Next, we can divide by 100. This gives us 425. We know that they will save $425 if they decrease their energy use by 17%. We now need to subtract $425 from $2,500. This gives us $2,075. If the company is successful in decreasing their energy use by 17%, their bill would be $2,075.
