Answer:

Below is the procedure that was used to find the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "e" the weight in pounds of the elephant and "c" the weight in pounds of the cat.
According to the information provided in the exercise, we know that The weight of an elephant is
times the weight of a cat. Based on this we can write the following equation:

If the weight in pounds of the elephant is:

We must substitute this value into the equation and then solve for "c" in order to find the weight in pounds of the cat.
Then we get:

If triangle ABC is equilateral, you know that each angle is 60 degrees because 180(the total of all angles in a triangle) divided by 3 is 60. 60 would equal 3x-12. 60=3x-12 then you cancel out the 12, 56=3x, and finally divide by 3... x=18.66! Hope this helps!
Since each share was purchased when it was still quoted at 20 1/4, then when the stock value increases, it gains (25 1/4 - 20 1/4) = $5.00 for each stock.
Since you're to sell 30 shares of your stock, that means you'll be making a profit of (30 x 5 ) = $150.00.
Thus, the answer is C<span>.</span>
