The coordinates of the midpoint of AB is (4.5, -1.5)
We can find this by taking the average of each coordinate. The average of the x's (2 and 7) is 4.5, while the average of the y's (-4 and 1) is -1.5.
The coordinates of the midpoint of CD is (-5.5, 1)
We can find this by taking the average of the coordinates as we did in the first one. The average of the x's (-3 and -8) is -5.5, while the average of the y's (-2 and 4) is 1.
X = total sales
y = sharon's commision earnings
Since Sharon makes 4% of the total sales, we want to calculate how many sales equate to a $150 return. Since 4% = .04, the solution would be :
y = .04 x
150 = .04 x
150/.04 = x
3750 = x
Answer
Find out the how much does one apple cost .
To prove
Let us assume that the number of bananas be x .
Let us assume that the number of apples be y .
As given
At a greengrocer, two bananas and one apple cost $1.16 .
Than the equation becomes
2x + y = 1.16
one banana and one apple cost $0.71.
Than the equation becomes
x + y = 0.71
Subtracting x + y = 0.71 from 2x + y = 1.16
2x - x + y - y = 1.16 - 0.71
x = 0.45
Put in the equation x + y = 0.71
0.45 + y = 0.71
y = 0.71 - 0.45
y = $0.26
Therefore the cost of the one apple is $0.26 .
the answer would be b the answer is 114
