Answer:

C (2, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

C has the same x coordinate as A = 2

that eliminates A and B.

and the y value of C has to be closer to the y value of B than to the y value of A (due to the 5:3 ratio).

so, without spending unnecessary effort on actual calculation, we can directly derive the correct answer to be C.

but to show in numbers, the "coordinate triangle" of the difference between D and B is a similar triangle to ACD. and so, the ratio of one side pair applies then to all other sides too. including the individual coordinate differences.

so, also the y difference of A to D relates to the y difference between D and B in the same ratio of 5:3 of the overall y difference of A to B.

the y difference A to B is 2 - -6 = 8

the 5/3 split of 8 units is actually 5 and 3.

so, the y coordinate of D is -6 + 5 = -1

and C must have the same y coordinate.

therefore, it is proven that answer C (2, -1) is the right answer.

The price of a watch was increased by 20% to £144. What was the price before the increase
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

120 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the new cost is 144 pounds and this is 20% more,  this is 120% of the original price. Remember 100+20 = 120. To find the original price set up a proportion with these values:

Solve for the original price by cross multiplying numerator with denominator.

x(120) = 144(100)

120x = 14400

x= 120 pounds
