How can you use proportional reasoning to solve problems involving percent?

Will give are given that xy is parallel to zw. if xz is a transversal that intercepts xy and zw, angle angle alternate interior angles. since xy is parallel to zw, we know that these angles are we also know that angle xvy and angle zvw are , and thus congruent. we can conclude that △xyv ~ △zwv using the similarity theorem.

Graph red beads cost $1 an ounce and gold beads cost $3 an ounce. juanita wants to purchase a 12-ounce mixture of red and gold beads that she can sell for $2 an ounce. the solution of the system shows the number of beads needed for juanita to break even. x + y = 12, x + 3y = 24 how many ounces of red beads will juanita buy to break even? how many ounces of gold beads will she buy?
