Sumaya's Smoothie Store is planning to sell an extra-large size. The extra-large size will have three times the volume of the small size. It will cost twice as much as the small size. Which coordinate pair represents the volume and cost of the extra-large size?

Sumaya’s Smoothie Store is planning to sell an extra-large size. The extra-large size will have three times the volume of the small size (the small size is (8,4) ). It will cost twice as much as the small size.

Which coordinate pair represents the volume and cost of the extra-large size?

Solution:

The coordinate plane is a plane that can be used to represent the position of a point. The plane consist of x axes and y axes. The position of a point is referenced from the origin.

The small size of a pizza is represented by the coordinate pair (8, 4) ⇒ (volume, cost)

Since the volume of the extra-large size will have three times the volume of the small size, hence:

Volume of extra-large size = 8 * 3 = 24

The cost of extra large is twice as much as the small size, hence:

Cost of extra large = 4 * 2 = 8

Therefore the coordinate pair that represents the volume and cost of the extra-large size is:

(24, 8)
