Hi

It’s helpful to have a bigger image.Is line BE a straight line?

In answering this question, I assume that line BE is a straight line
The two shaded areas are of equal sizes.

Area of triangle ABD ----- ½ * 12 * 9 ------ 54
Area of triangle (height 7 cm) ----- ½ * 12 * 7 ------ 42

Difference of 1 shaded part ------ 54 – 42 -----12
Area of 2 shaded parts ------ 12*2 ----- 24

Best wishes

Yes, line BE is a straight line. Thanks for your answer too!
:thankyou:

Can anyone help answer these questions? I need the working as I don't understand the questions.


1) Roy, Sam and Ted had a sum of money. Roy had 80% of Sam's money. Sam had 60% of Ted's. After Roy gave $12 to Sam, he had 5/7 of what Sam had. How much more money did Ted have than Sam in the end?

2) Neil and Paul had different sums of money. If Neil spent $40 each week and Paul spent $80 each week, Neil would still have $1040 left when Paul spent all his money. If Neil spent $80 each week and Paul spent $40 each week, Neil would still have $320 left when Paul spent all his money. How much did Paul have at first?

3)Jerry bought four times as many pencils as notebooks and spent a total of $21.60. He spent $2,40 more on notebooks than the pencils. Given that a notebook costs $3.20 more than a pencil, find the cost of a pencil.

4) Ms Lee baked 24 more chocolate muffins than banana muffins. After she gave away 1/6 of the chocolate muffins and 3/8 of the banana muffins,she was left with 35 more chocolate muffins than banana muffins. How many chocolate muffins did she bake at first?
