A bag of Super Dog dog food, at $12.85, is one third the price of a bag of Power Dog dog food. Write and solve a division equation to find the price of a bag of Power Dog dog food. How much does a bag of Power Dog food cost?

$38.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of super dog dog food = $12.85

We can infer from the question that the bag of Super Dog dog food, costs $12.85, which is one third the price of a bag of Power Dog dog food.

Let the price of the Power Dog dog food.be represented by x. Therefore,

1/3 × x = 12.85

x/3 = 12.85

x = 12.85 × 3

x = 38.55

The price of a bag of Power Dog dog food is $38.55

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
