In your post, some numerical data is missed, so the problem can not be solved
and your question can not be answered.

But similar problem is solved in the lesson
    - Using proportions to solve word problems in Geometry
in this site (see problem 1 there).

Using that solution as your TEMPLATE, you can complete your assignment on your own.
