The cost to mail a letter is a base charge of $0.42 plus $0.17 for each once. Write a equation that could be used to find how ounces a letter that costs $0.93 weighs. (Let x represent the number of ounces)

A) 0.59x = 0.93

B) 0.42x + 0.17 = 0.93

C) 0.59 = 0.93x

D) 0.42 + 0.17x = 0.93

PLEASE HELP

D

Step-by-step explanation:

0.93 - 0.42 = 0.51

0.51 / 0.17 = 3

3 ounces and the answer is D

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
