Hi there!
The answer is x = 6. All you have to do is subtract 83 from 127 because 127 is the total of the two parts of the equation. Now using the expression they give you - since you already know what the missing angle degree is for JKM- you just plug it in. 9x-10=44.
Add 10 to both sides to cancel out the ten.
You then have 9x = 54.
Divide both sides by 9.
Leaving you with x = 6.
Hope this helps !
Edit: 33% is not
![\frac{1}{3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D)
, therefore my solution is wrong. The correct answer is 0.33 x 496, which is $163.68
The following is the original solution, which is incorrect.
33% =
![\frac{1}{3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D)
. Multiply the bonus of $496 by
![\frac{1}{3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D)
to get the solution of
![\frac{496}{3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B496%7D%7B3%7D)
, or 165 and
![\frac{1}{3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D)
Therefore the solution is $165.33
16/21 is the correct answer
