Which expression is equivalent and why?

9514 1404 393

  C.  1.15x

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the expression for the cost:

  x + 0.15x

Combining like terms, this becomes ...

  1.15x . . . . . matches choice C

< coa = 150 ( given)

as ba and bc are tangents

so oc and oa is perpendicular to cb and ab respectively because in circle normal passes through centre

so in quadrilateral oabc

< coa + < oab + < ocb + < abc = 360

150 +90+90 + < abc = 360

330 + < abc = 360

< abc = 360 -330 = 30

so < abc = 30
