You just got a new job with the Biden Administration as a House Clerk working full time (40 hours a week) with a salary of $21.50 per hour. You are required to pay 18% tax. You have a credit card with a balance of $17,000
in which you are required to make a monthly payment of $495. Below are your monthly expenses showing
the variables and their respective percentages of your net income to take care of those bills.
Housing (25%)
Utilities (79)
Food (18%)
Essential (5%)
Medical (8%)
Clothing (5.5%)
Transportation (1696)
Savings (6%)
Fun (3%)
Based on the cost of paying for the listed variables:
1. can you afford the credit card's monthly payment? You have to show the math work.
2. What step will you take to make sure you are able to make the credit card monthly payment (Show the
math for your step of action, action step with no supporting math will be penalized.)

Answer: question no. 1 -a. yes, the sides are in the ratio 2 : 5.question no. 2 -b. 59°question no. 3 -c. angles x and y are remote interior angles.question no. 4 -d. 90°, 45° and 45°question no. 5 -b. mn and qrstep-by-step explanation: question no. 1 -rs : xu = 3 : 7.5 = 2 : 5rt : x? = 6.4 : 16 = 2 : 5st : u? = 6 : 15 = 2 : 5as the ratios of all sides are equivalent, the triangles must be congruent and the sides must be proportional.therefore, the answer is: a. yes, the sides are in the ratio 2 : 5.question no. 2 -in the second diagram, angle b is the only letter not shown. therefore, the number must be equivalent to angle b.if we substitute the value of angle b as being 22° in the first diagram, we can now use the angle sum of a triangle to obtain the value of angle a.angle sum of a triangle = 180°therefore: let angle a = aa + 99 + 22 = 180a = 180 - 99 - 22a = 59°therefore, the answer is: b. 59°question no. 3 -angles x and y don't share the vertex of the triangle with the exterior angle w. remote interior angles don't share a vertex of a triangle with an exterior angle. this means that angles x and y are remote interior angles.therefore, the answer is: c. angles x and y are remote interior angles.question no. 4 -the sum of all interior angles of a triangle must be equivalent to 180°.90°, 45° and 45° are the only set of angle measures that are equivalent to 180°.therefore, the answer is: d. 90°, 45° and 45°question no. 5 -the only pair of sides stated in the options which are corresponding are mn and qr.therefore, the answer is: b. mn and qr.
