Kendra is choosing bouquets of flowers for table centerpieces. She decides to buy 40 bouquets for $120 because she thinks that price is a better value than 40 bouquets for $2.50 each. Explain Kendra’s error.

Find below:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we either find the total cos5 of buying 40 bouquets at $2.50 or find the cost of one bouquet at $120.

Cost of one in pack of 40 at $120.

120 divided by 40 = $ 3

Now, we can see that $3>$2.50

This means that Kendra is wrong to buy the bouquet pack of 40 for $120

Hope this helps.

Good Luck

step-by-step explanation:

the word superfluous means unnecessary

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
