cupcake and Dinah’s sandwich splattered Harold right on top of his head! Jamal’s cupcake flew on a path that would have landed on the floor 20 feet away from him if it had not hit Harold. Dinah’s sandwich flew on a path that would have landed on the floor 24 feet away from her if it had not hit Harold. Jamal’s cupcake got up 9 feet high, and Jamal’s sandwich reached a height of 6 feet before hitting Harold.

X=0.75 and y=0.25• Now that you know the price of each kind

of candy, check your work by substituting your answer into the second equation:

• 2(0.75)+8(0.25) ? 3.5• 1.5+2 = 3.5

solution• By using the intersect key:• POI=( 6.625, 71876.17)• What does x coordinate of POI represent?• What does y coordinate of POI represent?• So up to 6 years Job A is a better option.

Starting with year 7 Job B is a better option.
