Combine like terms-- you can combine the k's:
Now you have:
Simply divide both sides by 2.5 to find the value of k:
Answer:
$79.63
Step-by-step explanation:
You can figure this by estimating. 16% is a little less than 20%, which is 1/5. $497.69 is almost $500. So, 1/5 of that is almost $100, and a little less than that is about $80. The closest answer choice is $79.63.

If you want to figure it exactly, you can do the multiplication ...
16% of $497.69 = 0.16 × $497.69 = $79.6304 ≈ $79.63
We’re going to use the formula for area of a rectangle, which is length x width. We are also going to use the formula for area of a triangle which is 1/2 x base x height.
Let’s start with the rectangle under the triangle ends of the roof. They are 11mm wide, 10mm high, and there are two of them.
11 x 10 x 2 = 220
Then the other sides that are 16 x 10. There are 2 of them.
16 x 10 x 2 = 320
Then the rectangular pieces of roof, 9.7 x 16, and there are 2 of them.
9.7 x 16 x 2 = 310.4
Lastly, the triangle pieces of roof. (1/2)(base)(height), but there are 2 of them
1/2 x 11 x 8 x 2 = 88
Add up all the parts:
220 + 320 + 310.4 + 88 = 938.4 mm
I say it’s 2/3 I mean that line means it’s a negative but there’s no negative 2 attached to the line
5.25, -16.75
I think it’s wrong
