Suppose that the weight (in pounds) of an airplane is a linear function of the amount of fuel (in gallons) in its tank. When car
rying 12 gallons of fuel, the airplane weighs 2078 pounds. When carrying 40 gallons of fuel, it weighs 2260 pounds. How much does the airplane weigh if it is carrying 54 gallons of fuel?
GIVEN: Suppose that the weight (in pounds) of an airplane is a linear function of the amount of fuel (in gallons) in its tank. When carrying gallons of fuel, the airplane weighs pounds. When carrying gallons of fuel, it weighs pounds.
TO FIND: How much does the airplane weigh if it is carrying gallons of fuel.
SOLUTION:
Let the fuel be represented along and weight of plane along
You convert the percentages into degrees by taking the percentage of the candy then you divide it by the total percentage of the pie chart of which is 30% divided by 100% then you multiply it by 360 then you'll get your answer to be 108°
