Look at the picture.

1)|AM| = |MB| = x
|AN| = |NC| = y
|BC| = 2y - 2x = 2(y - x)
|MN| = y - x
Therefore |BC| = 2|MN|
2)|AM| = |MB| = x
|AN| = |NC| = y

|BC| = 2y - 2x = 2(y - x)
|MN| = y - x
Therefore |BC| = 2|MN|

Hello ! (<span>I attached a picture of the drawing)</span>

<span>First, we draw a line with 3 points B,A,C in this order.Then </span><span>we will note the middle of AB with M and also the middle of AC with N.
</span>
<span></span><span>We can notice that BC = AB + AC
</span>
<span>M - the middle of AB ⇒ AM=MB=AB/2</span>
<span>N - the middle of AC ⇒ AN=NC=AC/2
</span>

<span>We can write MN as AM+AN , which means AB/2 + AC/2 . We can also write AB as BC-AC , so we will have :
</span>
<span>MN = AB/2 + AC/2</span>
<span>MN = (BC-AC)/2 + AC/2</span>
<span>MN = BC/2 - AC/2 + AC/2 ( AC/2 with -AC/2 are reduced)</span>
MN = BC/2    or    BC = 2·MN

Answer:

7. Answer is 1236.25$

8. Answer is 143.75$

9. Answer is 16.485$

10. Answer is 6.825$

11. Answer is 31.25%

12. Answer is 0.125 for the decimal section and 12.5% for the percent section.

Step-by-step explanation:

7. 7.5 percent of 1150 is 86.25 and 86.25 + 1150 is 1236.25.

8. 15 percent of 125 is 18.75 therefore 125 + 18.75 is equal to 143.75.

9. 3.50 + 2.25 + 9.95 + 15.7 and 5 percent of 15.7 is 0.785 and 15.7 + 0.785 is 16.485.

10. 4.25 plus 2.25 is 6.50 and 5% of 6.50 is 0.325 and 6.50 plus 3.25 is 6.825.

11. 63 plus 25 is 88 so 88 is 68.75 percent of 128 and 100 minus 68.75 is 31.25 so 31.25 is the answer.

12. 1/8 is 12.5 percent so for the percent section it is 12.5 and for the decimal section 0.125
