In the figure below the segment is parallel to one side of the triangle. The ratio of 12 to y is

A. 1:3
B. 1:2
C. 1:4
D. 2:3

answer: (3,11) is your answer.

the revenue of the fitness center, y, is the product of two factors: the number of members and the fee paid by each member. there are 320 members now, but number of members goes down by 10 for each $5 increase in fees, so if x is the number of $5 price increases then members is equal to (320 - 10x). since the fee is currently $45, and the fee increases by $5 for every price bump x, the fee is given by (45 + 5x). so, revenue y is given by y = (320 - 10x)(45 + 5x).

we are given scale of 2 units.

on graph paper the space is 2.5 cm.

length of glass = 8 units.

8 units = 2 units +2 units +2 units +2 units.

each 2 unit is = 2.5cm.

therefore,

8 units = 2 units +2 units +2 units +2 units = 2.5+2.5+2.5+2.5= 10cm.
