Answer: 25 grapefruits

Step-by-step explanation:

They buy grapefruit at a price of 5 per dollar. This means that the price per grapefruit is:

= 1 / 5

= $0.20 per grapefruit.

They then sell at a price of 5 per $3. The selling price per grapefruit is:

= 3 / 5

= $0.60

The profit per grapefruit is:

= 0.60 - 0.20

= $0.40

In order to make a profit of $10, they should sell:

= 10 / 0.4

= 25 grapefruits

Vladimir says that the equation of the line that passes through points (negative 5, negative 3) and (10, 9) is y = four-fifths x

love history [14]

Answer:

Vladimir and Robyn both are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us check whether the points (-5,-3) and (10,9) are on the line $y = \frac{4}{5}x + 1$ or not.

The equation of the straight line passing through the given points (-5,-3) ans (10,9) is $\frac{y - 9}{9 + 3} = \frac{x - 10}{10 + 5}$

⇒ 5(y - 9) = 4(x - 10)

⇒ 5y = 4x + 5

⇒ $y = \frac{4}{5}x + 1$ .............. (1)

So, Vladimir is correct.

Now, Robyn says that the line passes through the points (-10,-7) and (-15,-11).

Then, both of the points satisfy the equation (1).

Therefore, Vladimir and Robyn both are correct. (Answer)
