Answer:
(5,7.5) (12,18) (18,27)
Step-by-step explanation:
It costs $1.50 per cupcake.
y = 1.5x, where x is the amount of cupcakes and y is the amount of money in dollars.
7.5 = 1.5 times 5
18 = 1.5 times 12
27 = 1.5 times 18
There are 31+42+50+61=184 total females, and 50+61=111 females in grades 11 and 12, so the percentage is 111/184*100=60.33 percent, which can be rounded to 60%.
