Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Cost of large candle (a) = 25 each
Cost of small candles (y) = 10 each
Amount needed = $600
Number of each that must be sold to raise needed amount:
25a + 10y = 600.
Here a = number of large candles that must be sold at the price
y = number of small candles that must be sold at the price
Summing the revenue both should result in the required amount.
Since we need a point that divides K-->J into two segments in a 1:3 ratio, let's flip it to a 3:1 ratio in the J-->K direction. That means that this point is 3/(3+1) = 3/4 of the way up line JK.
Let's take 3/4 of the x of K (plus the 1 for the x of J):
3/4×(9 - 1) + 1 (because the beginning ofvthe line, at J, has an x of 1)...
3/4×(8) + 1 = 6 + 1 = 7
Therefore the answer is C) 7
