Given,
The distance between Indianapolis and Lima, IL = 173 miles
The distance between Indianapolis and Dayton, ID = 165 miles
The distance between Dayton and Lima, DL is unknown
Since there are straight roads connecting the three cities, the connection between them form a right angles triangle.
The right angle is at Dayton
The hypotenuse is the distance between Indianapolis and Lima, IL
Therefore IL^2 = ID^2 + DL^2
173^2 = 165^2 + DL^2
DL^2 = 173^2 – 165^2
DL^2 = 29929 – 27225
DL^2 = 2704
DL = 52 miles
Therefore, The distance between Dayton and Lima, DL = 52 miles
The question is asking how many more miles would Meg drive if she stopped in Dayton first than if she drove directly to Lima.
That is, Distance of Indianapolis to Dayton + Distance of Dayton to Lima – Direct distance of Indianapolis to Lima
That is, ID + DL – IL
= 165 miles + 52 miles – 173 miles
= 217 miles – 173 miles
= 44 miles
Therefore, Meg would drive 44 more miles if she stopped in Dayton first than if she drove directly to Lima.

Answer:
D.) 7:3
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the LCM of the numbers, which is 8.
Then divide each number by 8
56÷8=7 24÷8= 3
Then, put them in a ratio
7:3
Morgan should first take the 40% off then apply the $15 coupon
Lets say her total was $150.
If you take the 40% off first, you get $90
150 * .6 = 90 (since you are taking off 40% you are still paying the rest of the 60% so you can just save extra steps by multiplying by .6 and not .4)
Now you subtract 15 from that value.
90 - 15 = 75 If Morgan takes the 40% off first and then applies the $15 dollar coupon, she has to pay $75.
If she applies the $15 coupon first, her total before the 40% is $135
150 - 15 = 135
The total will come out to be $81
$135 * .6 = 81
If Morgan takes the discount first before applying the coupon she has to pay less and saves the most money.
