Answer:

Savings= $236

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Money spent= $59

Proportion of savings= 25% = 0.25

Savings= money spent / proportion of savings

Savings= 59 / 0.25

An animal shelter spends $3.00 per day to care for each cat and $6.50 per day to care for each dog. Amelia noticed that the shel
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

There were 15 cats at the shelter on Friday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of caring each cat = $3.00

Cost for caring each dog = $6.50

Total money spent by shelter = $84.00

Total Cats and Dogs in the shelter = 21

Let the number of cats in the shelter = k

So, the number of dogs in shelter =  21 -k

Also according to the question:

Total expenditure on cats + total expenditure on dogs = $84.00

or, k ($3.00) + (21-k)($6.50)  = $84.00

or, 3k + 136.5 - 6.5 k = 84

or, -3.5 k = 84 - 136.5 = -52.5

⇒3.5 k = 52.5  or k = 52.5/3.5 = 15

⇒  k = 15

Hence, the number of cats in the shelter was 15 on Friday.

Solve for x using figure to the right. Pls answer this it is urgent
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Therefore the value of x = 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let label the Triangles first,

Δ ABC a right triangle at ∠ A =90°

Δ ADB andΔ ADC a right triangle at ∠ D =90°

Such that

AD = x

BD = 50

CD = 2

∴ BC = BD + DC = 50 + 2 = 52

To Find:

x = ?

Solution:

In right triangle  By Pythagoras Theorem,

(\textrm{Hypotenuse})^{2} = (\textrm{Shorter leg})^{2}+(\textrm{Longer leg})^{2}

In right triangle Δ ADB andΔ ADC  By Pythagoras Theorem we will have,

AB² =  BD² + AD²

AB² = 50² + x²            ..................equation ( 1 )

and

AC² = DC² + AD²

AC² = 2² + x²             ...................equation ( 2 )

Now in right triangle Δ ABC,

BC² = AB² + AC²

Equating equation  (1 ) and ( 2 ) and the given value we get

52² = 50² + x² + 2² + x²

∴ 2x² = 2704 - 2504

∴ 2x² =200

∴ x^{2} =\frac{200}{2}\\\\\therefore x=\pm\sqrt{100} \\\\ \textrm{x cannot be negative}\\\therefore x= 10\ unit

Therefore the value of x = 10 units
