Answer:
0.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Rectangle A ~ Rectangle B
X and x+ 2 equal 188
add all the like terms to get 2x+2=188
subtract 2 from each side
2x=186
divide by 2
x=93
so the numbers are 93 and 95
As there are multiple answers going with trial and error seems good in this case.
A
5.00 + 5.00 + 5.00 + 5.00 = 20.00
3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 = 31.5
20.00 + 31.5 = 51.5
B
5.00 + 5.00 + 5.00 + 5.00 = 20.00
3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 = 35.00
20.00 + 35.00 = 55.00
C
5.00 + 5.00 + 5.00 = 15.00
3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 = 31.5
15.00 + 31.5 =46.5
Knowing that for the first one all A,B, and C were wrong we can determine that D is the answer. But wait if I made one mistake and didn't understand if $156.5 is equivalent to $156.50 that would mean A is correct.
Always recheck your answers and good luck,
Jon
