MONEY FOR FUN If you earn $50,000 a year
and spend 5 percent of
that on sports and enter-
tainment, how much do
you spend per year on
sports and entertainment?
Th

$2,500

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) 5% would be switched to decimal form which is 0.05

To do this, start with 5.

Move the the decimal point two place values to the left.

2.) Now multiply 50,000 and 0.05

3.) This equals 2,500

-22

times both sides by 2, times () by 8, add alile terms, move terms, add alike and caculate divide both sides by 3

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
