Answer:
For linear equations we use:
p=mx+b ------ (1)
Now we have the following coordinates:
(x1,p1)= (1000,280) and (x2, p2)=(5000,400)
First we need slope (m)
m=
=
Now we will plug the value of m in the first equation
=>
=> b = 250
Now plug into p=mx+b using only m=0.03 and b=250
When the unit price is $440, we can plug in 440 in for p;
=>
=>
=> x = 6333 refrigerators
The lowest price at which a refrigerator will be marketed, we can find this by plugging x = 0 in p=mx+b.
=> p = $250
Jummai and Tunde will each have 9 and 6 bananas respectively.
For the given ratio case we use the sharing ratio criterion to solve the problem.
Jummai is 12 years old.
Tunde is 8 years old.
Their ages are in ratio of;
A = 12 : 8
A = 3 : 2
The ratio's sum is 5.
15 bananas total are available for sharing.
Jummai will have bananas
= (15 x 3/5) = 9
Tunde will have bananas
= (15 x 2/5) = 6
Jummai and Tunde will each have 9 and 6 bananas with them.
