3 friends split the cost of renting a boat. Each person rented a life preserver. The cost of the boat was $120. The total cost for the boat and life preservers was $135. Write and solve an equation to find the cost of renting a life preserver?

boat rent: $40/per person

Life preserver: $5/per person

Step-by-step explanation:

120 ÷ 3 = 40

135 ÷ 3 = 45

45 - 40 = 5

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
