Each month, Stacey places a portion of her earnings in a retirement account. Her savings are invested in two companies. For every $9 invested in company A, $2 is invested in company B. Stacey quizzes her children, Krista and Kevin, about how much money she will invest in company A if she invests $24 in company B. Krista and Kevin used two different methods to arrive at the answer to Stacey’s problem. Let’s see who found the correct answer and how. You’ll answer some questions along the way.

What operation must you perform to both sides of the equation to get x by itself on the right side?

answer: median

step-by-step explanation:

the median is the middle value when a data set is ordered from least to greatest

35%

step-by-step explanation:

amount of apples bought =$ 2.6

amount of peaches bought =$ 1.475

amount given by you to cashier= $ 20

amount received by me= amount given by you to cashier -   [amount of apples bought +amount of peaches bought]

                                        = 20   - [1.475 + 2.6]

                                        = 20 -   [ 4.075]

                                        =   $15.925

so, change received by me = $15.925
