Answer:

The price of candy bar is 75 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c be the price of candy bar and d be the price of drinks

Then according to given statements

$60c+110d = 265\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 1\\120c+90d = 270\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 2$

Multiplying equation 1 by 2

$120c+220d = 530\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting equation 2 from equation 3

$120c+220d - (120c+90d) = 530 - 270\\120c+220d-120-90d = 260\\130d=260$

Dividing both sides by 130

$\frac{130d}{130} = \frac{260}{130}\\d = 2$

Putting d=2 in equation 1

$60c+110(2) = 265\\60c + 220 = 265\\60c+220-220 = 265-220\\60c=45\\c = \frac{45}{60}\\c = 0.75$

Price of candy bar is $0.75 or 75 cents

Hence,

The price of candy bar is 75 cents

Answer:

The x coordinate of S is b.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of Point Q are:

(2a+2b)/2, 2c/2

= [(a + b), c].

The slope of the line AB

= (0-2c)/(2b-2a)

= -c/(b-a)

So The slope of the line QS = (b - a) / c = (b - a)/c.

Its equation is

y - c = (b - a)/c ( x - (a+b))

y = (b - a)/c ( x - (a+b)) + c.

The coordinates of Point P are:

(2a+0)/2, 2(c+ 0)/2

= (a, c)

The slope of the line AO

= (2c)/2a

= c/a

So The slope of the line PS = -a/c

Its equation is

y - c = -a/c(x - a)

y = -a/c(x - a) + c

So:

(b - a)/c ( x - (a+b)) + c

= -a/c(x - a) + c

(b - a)(x - a - b) + c^2 = -a(x - a) + c^2

(b - a)(x - a - b) = -a(x - a)

bx - ab - b^2 - ax + a^2 + ab = -ax + a^2

bx - ax + ax + a^2 - a^2 - ab + ab = b^2

bx = b^2

x = b = the x coordinate of S.

c). The point R has the same x coordinate as S So RS is perpendicular to OB.
