A hardware store mixes paints in a ratio of three parts red to five parts yellow to make two gallons of pumpkin orange. A ratio of six parts red to two parts yellow makes two gallons of pepper red. A gallon of pumpkin orange sells for $26, and a gallon of pepper red sells for $23. Find the cost of 1 quart of red paint and the
cost of 1 quart of yellow paint.
One quart of red paint costs and one quart of yellow paint

step-by-step explanation:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.

step-by-step explanation:

given that megan owns a clothing boutique.

the profits of 2010, 11, are recorded and shown as follows:

years since     2010 0     1     2     3       4       5

profits made in 1000's   39       84     111     120   111     84

we find that profit gradually increases form 2010 to 2013 upto 120,   then starts decreasing.

the profits for 2012 and 2014 are the same while that of 2011 and 2015 are also the same.

this shows that there is symmetry about the line profit = 120000

hence answer is:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.
