Thomas paid $4.25 for three apples and four oranges. Five apples and two oranges cost Casey $4.75. Let x represent the number of apples and y represent the number of oranges. Which system of equations represents this situation? A $~3x+4y=4.75~$ $~5x+2y=4.25~$ B 3x+4y=4.25 5x+2y=4.75 C 4x+3y=4.75 2x+5y=4.25 D 4x+3y=4.25 2x+5y=4.75

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
