If two similar triangles have side lengths 3cm and 7cm then we can determine that the scale factor for the lengths is: 7/3
Now, we have to work out the area scale factor !
This is simple, since area is given in cm² then all we have to do is square our original scale factor!
So,
7/3² = 49/9
So, we can say that the ratio of the area would be:
x : 49/9x

I think the answer is D) 24/25.
Again sorry if its wrong!!
Answer:
D. $1,136.79
Step-by-step explanation:
In this example, we want to learn what the original price of the computer would be if the price is $1,205, and this includes a 6% sales tax. This means that this price is 106% of the original price (100% is the price, while 6% is the tax). Therefore:
1205 * 1.06 = 1136.79
First things first, write the equations!
- Word problems can be intimidating because of all information given, so all you need to focus on, is the information about the variables you are solving, everything else, like the story line is irrelevant!
- Writing Equations from Word Problems:
pull the good stuff (information about the variables) so you can see the information needed, without having to mess your brain up with a bunch of irrelivance!
Equation 1:
3 donuts and 2 coffees is $3.94
Equation 2:
2 donuts and 6 coffees is $7.20
Now it is simply reading the equation...
Knowing these "terms" when writing Equations from a word problem is VERY IMPORTANT;
IS: =
and, more than, etc: +
less than, etc: -
Knowing the terms makes Writing the Equations THE EASIEST PART! Most of the time students get these problems wrong because of wrong equations!
So Equation 1 IS ( = ) ;)
3 Donut + 2 Coffee = 3.94
Equation 2:
2 donut + 6 coffee = 7.20
Now, to make things simple I personally find it easier to "let Donuts = d" and "let Coffee = c"
so...
3d + 2c = 3.94
2d + 6c = 7.20
in order to solve, we have to ELIMINATE one of the variables by making one of them equal 0.
I chose to eliminate c by multiplying the first equation by 3.
3 (3d + 2c = 3.94)
--> 9d + 6c = 3.94
and then the 2nd equation by -1
-1 (2d + 6c = 7.20)
---> -2d + -6c = -7.20
9d + 6c = 11.82
-2d + -6c = -7.20
--- Now we can add the 2 equations, doing so will cancel out c!
9d + 6c = 11.82
+
-2d + -6c = -7.20
= 7d + 0c = 4.62
= 7d = 4.62
now it is simple algebra to figure out d!
- you want to get d by itself so we need to get rid of the 7 and take it to the other side by division!
so-- 7d/7 = 4.62/7
= d = .66
Now that we know d, we just plug it into the original equations to find c!
- you can choose either one to plug it intl , but I chose equation 2:
2(.66) + 6c = 7.20
* MUST DO ORDER OF OPERATIONS- PEMDAS (parentheses, exponemts, multiplication, division, addition and then lastly subtraction)
so first we multiply 2 and .66
1.32 + 6c = 7.20
Now we want to get c by itself, so we subtract 1.32 by both sides-
6c = 5.88
now divide to get c
c = .98
ALWAYS CHECK
BOTH
EQUATIONS AFTER FINDING THE VARIABLES TO ENSURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT ANSWER (:
I hope that helped (:
16 miles because first you have to subtract your flat rate of $2 from $10, which will leave you left with $8. If it’s $0.50 per mile then divide that by the amount of money you have remaining after the flat rate deduction (8/0.50). After dividing you will find that you have enough money to travel 16 miles.
