Answer:

After\ Tax = \frac{p}{1.25}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Before\ Tax =\$ p

After\ Tax =\$ t

p = 1.25t

Required

Determine his after tax salary in terms of p

To do this, we simply make t the subject in p = 1.25t

Divide both sides by 1.25

\frac{p}{1.25} = \frac{1.25t}{1.25}

\frac{p}{1.25} = t

t = \frac{p}{1.25}

Substitute p/1.25 for t in After\ Tax =\$ t

After\ Tax = \frac{p}{1.25}

Giving triangle and m what is m >b
Gelneren [198K]

Since you know the triangles are congruent/equal, you know that:

m∠A and m∠X are congruent and have the same angle, and so does:

m∠B and m∠Y

m∠C and m∠Z

A triangle is 180°. (the 3 angles have to add up to 180) To find m∠B, you can do this:

m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

21° + m∠B + 35° = 180°    Subtract 21 and 35 on both sides

m∠B = 124° your answer is C
