The points H, I, J and K all lie on the same line segment, in that order, such that the ratio of HI:IJ: JK is equal to 3: 3:4. If HK - 40, find IJ.

IJ = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

sum the parts of the ratios, 3 + 3 + 4 = 10 parts

Divide HK by 10 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

40 ÷ 10 = 4 ← value of 1 part of ratio , then

IJ = 3 parts = 3 × 4 = 12

both equations and proportions are better.

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
