Answer:
<em>Terry had £780 initially and Faye had £1300</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>System of Equations</u>
We'll call the following variables:
x = Terry's balance in his bank account
y = Faye's balance in her bank account
The initial relation between them is:
Cross-multiplying:
5x = 3y [1]
If Terry put £220 in his account he had x+220 and if Faye withdrew £300 from her account, she had y-300. Both quantities are equal, thus
x + 220 = y - 300
Subtracting 220:
x = y - 520 [2]
Substituting in [1]
5(y - 520) = 3y
Multiplying:
5y - 2600 = 3y
Adding 2600 and subtracting 3y:
2y = 2600
Dividing by 2:
y = 1300
From [2]:
x = 1300 - 520
x = 780
Terry had £780 initially and Faye had £1300
Here it is given that the triangles ABP and DCR are similars, therefore we use the ratio rule which states that
corresponding sides of similar triangles are in same proprtion .
that gives
7/10 = BP/11
7*11=10BP
BP=7.7
Again using the ratio rule
7/10 = AP/6
42 = 10AP
AP = 4.2
Perimeter= AB+BP+AP = 7+7.7+4.2 = 18.9
Correct option is A.
