p - 0.27p = $ 219

0.73p = $ 219

p = $ 219 / 0.73

p = $ 300. i don't know if this is fully right tho

Answer: 409.23

Step-by-step explanation: Step 1: If 65% of a number is 266, then what is 100% of that number? Setup the equation.

266

65% = Y

100%

Step 2: Solve for Y

Using cross multiplication of two fractions, we get

65Y = 266 x 100

65Y = 26600

Y = 26600

100 = 409.23

Find the value of the variable that results in congruent triangles. Explain. SAS (Side, Angle, Side) or ASA (Angle, Side, Angle)

Mamont248 [21]

well, let's keep in mind that the SAS postulate, so if one Side and the Angle next to it and the following Side after the angle are equal on both triangles, both triangles are congruent. Now, we have the angle 30° with sides and 9 and 2x and sides 9 and x + 4, well, the 9's are equal, dohh, you know, if only the 2x = x + 4, we'd be golden

$2x = x + 4\implies 2x - x = 4\implies \boxed{x = 4}$
