In the triangle, find x, y, u, v

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of the triangles is similar, so we have ...

  3/5 = (3+x)/20

  x = 20(3/5) -3

  x = 9

__

  4/5 = (4+y)/20

  y = 20(4/5) -4

  y = 12

__

  3/5 = (3 + x + u)/60

  u = 60(3/5) -3 -9

  u = 24

__

  4/5 = (4 +y +v)/60

  v = 60(4/5) -4 -12

  v = 32

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
