Andy and diane want to buy a new van. they are allowed $5,500 for their present car. they also made a down payment of $2,300. they still owe 40% of the regular price of the car. what is the regular price of the car

The regular price of the car is $13,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) let the price of the van Andy and Diane want to buy be $x.

ii) they get $5,500 for their present car

iii) they also make a down payment of $2,300.

iv) therefore $x = $0.4x + $5,500 +  $2,300

   therefore $0.6x = $7,800

therefore $x = $ = $13,000

The regular price of the car is $13,000.

answer: a.

step-by-step explanation: the answer is a. because, you need to converge the fractions to find a solution.

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
