Question

A soda company had sales of $35,107 million in 2010 and $45,984 million in 2014. Use the Midpoint Formula to estimate the sales in 2012. Assume that the sales followed a linear

pattern.
$ __ million

Answer 1

40545.50 mill

Explanation:

so the average rate from 2010 to 2014 is a change of 4 years with a increase of 2719.25 milllion per year so if that rate started at the 2010 value (35107 million) then if you add the average rate twice you get how much they would of made in 2012 so 35107 plus 2719.25 plus 2719.25 you get 40545.50 million so that the answer oh yea and its like a 5 million pattern over 2 years that why average rate is 2.5ish
