Answer:

C. (-1,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since C internally divides AB in the ratio AC/CB = 1/2 = m/n where m = 1 and n = 2, we use the formula for internal division.

Let A = (x₁, y₁) = (5, 16), B = (x₂, y₂) and C = (x, y) = (3, 10)

So x = (mx₂ + nx₁)/(m + n)

y = (my₂ + ny₁)/(m + n)

Substituting the values of the coordinates, we have

x = (mx₂ + nx₁)/(m + n)

3 = (1 × x₂ + 2 × 5)/(2 + 1)

3 = (x₂ + 10)/3

multiplying through by 3, we have

9 = x₂ + 10

x₂ = 9 - 10

x₂ = -1

y = (my₂ + ny₁)/(m + n)

10 = (1 × y₂ + 2 × 16)/(2 + 1)

10 = (x₂ + 32)/3

multiplying through by 3, we have

30 = y₂ + 32

y₂ = 30 - 32

y₂ = -2

So, the coordinates of B are (-1, -2)

<u>Answer:</u>

(B) $152.50

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Friday: 5 hours x $7.50 per hour = $37.50

Saturday: 6 hours x $7.50 per hour = $45

Sunday: 4 hours x $7.50 per hour = $30

$40 + $37.50 + $45 + $30 = $152.50

I would have <u>(B) $152.50</u> in total.

Hopefully this helps :3 sorry if wrong :( Plz mark brainiest if correct :D Your bootiful/handsome! Have a great day luv <3

The cost of a plane ticket increases by 12%. After the increase, the ticket costs $616. What was the cost before the increase? E
Zina [86]

The cost before increase was $550.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Increased price of plane ticket = $616

Increase percent = 12%

Let,

x be the original price of ticket.

Now,

The original price is 100% and 12% is increased, therefore;

New price = (100+12)% = 112%

Thus;

$616 is 112% of x.

112% of x = 616

\frac{112}{100}x=616\\1.12x=616

Dividing both sides by 1.12

\frac{1.12x}{1.12}=\frac{616}{1.12}\\x=550

The cost before increase was $550.
