You and your brother go to the same store to buy fruit. You purchase a large watermelon for $7.71 and 2.4 pounds of red grapes. Your brother buys a platter of pre-cut fruit for $9.95 and 1.6 pounds of red
grapes. The two of you spend the same amount of money. How much do the grapes cost per pound?
I

what i would say the best answer is a. 40.5

this may not be at all, but i use the same website you're using for school, and if i'm stuck doing one of these i try to look for it on the section.

< xcy ≅ < xby

step-by-step explanation:

in δcax and δbax,

so, δcax ≅ δbax (side-angle-side or sas)

since δcax ≅ δbax, we can conclude < acx ≅ < abx

in δacy and δaby,

so, δacy ≅ δaby (side-angle-side or sas)

since δacy ≅ δaby, we can conclude < acy ≅ < aby

now,

< acy ≅ < aby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < abx + < xby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < acx + < xby   (since < acx ≅ < abx already proved above)

subtracting < acx from both sides, we get

< acx + < xcy -< acx ≅ < acx + < xby -< acx

cancelling out < acx and -< acx from both sides, we get

< xcy ≅ < xby (proved)
