It is Constant. The cost per pound is 2.50 dollars. two would be on the x-axis, and 5 dollars would be on the y-axis. likewise, 3 would be on the x-axis, and 7.50 dollars is on the y-axis. 5 pounds would cost : $12.50
We are given that:
side length = 8 3/2 inches = 9.5 inches
the rule for the area is: A = s^2
Substitute with the side length in the rule given to get the area as follows:
Area = s^2 = (9.5)^2 = 90.25 inch^2
Students total 43430
5742 students more
43430-5742=37688
37688/2 = 18844
