$392.37

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

The total finance charges paid for the year = $957

Joseph's total business charges on the card = 41% of all the charges

Now,

The amount of interest expense can be deducted on Joseph's Schedule C will be the Joseph's total business charges on the card

Therefore,

The amount of interest expense can be deducted on Joseph's Schedule C

= 41% of $957

= 0.41 × $957

= $392.37

47 - 90 = 43

43 - 180 = x

x = 137

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
