2. The cost of a badger is b pence. A raccoon is 5 pence more expensive than a badger and a beaver three times as expensive as a badger. a) What is the cost of a raccoon?
b) What is the cost of the beaver?
c) What is the total cost of a raccoon and 8 beavers?

(plz write down a step-by-step explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

A

A raccoon is 5 times more expensive than a badger.

r = 5*b

B

Let the beaver's price be be.

be = 3*b

C

Total = 5b + 8*be

Total = 5b + 8*3*b

Total = 5b + 24b

Total = 29 b

a) What is the cost of a raccoon?

b+5

b) What is the cost of the beaver?

b x 3

c) What is the total cost of a raccoon and 8 beavers?

raccoon = b+5

8 beavers = b x 24   (since every beaver is "x3", you do 3x8 beavers)

Step-by-step explanation:

badger = b pence

raccoon = b+5 pence (since it's 5 pence more expensive)

beaver = bx3 (x3 more expensive than a badger.)

I don't know how much "b" is so just fill in the blank.

idk

step-by-step explanation:

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
