x = 8
Solution:
Side-splitter theorem:
<em>If a line is parallel to one side of a triangle and the line intersects the other two sides, then this line divides those two sides proportionally.</em>
Do cross multiplication, we get
⇒ 4 × 42 = 21x
Divide by 21 on both sides, we get
⇒ 4 × 2 = x
⇒ 8 = x
Switch the sides.
⇒ x = 8
The value of x is 8.
Answer:
Mrs. grub bought total number of shirts = 1
Mrs. grub bought total number of hats = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Mrs. grub bought total number of shirts = x
Let Mrs. grub bought total number of hats = y
As given,
Price of 1 shirt = $4
Price of 1 hat = $12
⇒ Price of x shirts = $ 4x
Price of y hats = $ 12y
Given that,
Mrs. Grubb bought total piece of clothes = 9
⇒ x + y = 9 .......(1)
Also given,
She bought all clothing for $100
⇒ 4x + 12 y = 100 ........(2)
Divide equation (2) by 4 we get
x + 3y = 25 .......(3)
Now,
Subtract equation (1) from equation (3) , we get
x + 3y - ( x + y ) = 25 - 9
⇒ x + 3y - x - y = 16
⇒2y = 16
⇒y = = 8
⇒ y = 8
Put value of y in equation (3), we get
x + 3(8) = 25
⇒x + 24 = 25
⇒x = 25 - 24 = 1
⇒x = 1
∴ we get
Mrs. grub bought total number of shirts = x = 1
Mrs. grub bought total number of hats = y = 8
