Solve for x. 9 4 13.5 x+4

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallel lines divide the transversals into proportional segments, that is

= ( cross- multiply )

9(x + 4) = 54 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x + 4 = 6 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x = 2

5%

15/300 = .05 = 5% of the 300 damaged. You are supposed to assume then that 5% of the 12,500 are also damaged.

Just for extra, .05*12,500 would be 625 apples damaged of the 12,500 apples picked in october. But, the answer you want is 5%.

Hope this helps!
