Q:

A store sells shirts to the public at one pricing scale and wholesale at another pricing scale.​

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:Option B is correct.Step-by-step explanation:The slope for public sales:[tex]m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}} \\[/tex]here x₁ = 2 , xβ‚‚= 5 , y₁=24, yβ‚‚= 60[tex]m= \frac{60-24}{5-2}\\ m= \frac{36}{3}\\ m=12[/tex]The slope for Wholesale sales:[tex]m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}} \\[/tex]here x₁ = 18 , xβ‚‚= 35 , y₁=162, yβ‚‚= 315[tex]m= \frac{315-162}{35-18}\\ m= \frac{153}{17}\\ m=9[/tex]Now, comparing slopes of wholesales sale and Public sales 9:120r 3:43:4 can be written as 3/4.So, Option B The slope of wholesale table is 3/4 times of the slope of the Public table is correct.
