The coordinates of A will be (2P +M)/3
= (2(16, 14) +(1, 4))/3 = (33/3, 32/3) = (11, 32/3)
The appropriate choice is
(C) (11, 32/3)
_____
You will note that the coordinates of A are the weighted average of the coordinates of the end points. The weighting is the reverse of the ratio of the line segments. That is, the point adjacent to the shortest segment gets the highest weighting. (This is typical of the solution to "mixture" problems.)

Answer:
Mia and her family went to dinner, and the bill, including tax, came to $54.65. Mia suggested giving the server a gratuity of about 20 percent of the bill.
If they give a gratuity of 20 percent, what would be the tip rounded to the nearest dollar?
✔ $11
If they give a gratuity of 20 percent, rounded to the nearest dollar, what is the total cost of the dinner, including the tip?
✔ $65.65
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio given says this - 3 puppies : 2 adults = 5 total dogs
You are given (?) puppies : (?) adults = 80 total dogs
In this case, you are trying to find the number of puppies, so you do not need to care about the number of adults. You need to compare the ratio with the actual amount.
Total/puppies = total/puppies
5/3 = 80/(?)
Now, cross multiply.
5(?) = 240
Divide both sides by 5 and you get your answer.
(?) = 48
