What is the easiest way to find the answer?

multiply the number of ounces by the price per ounce

Blue jelly beans cost 0.28 per ounce and there are 4 ounces

 4 * 0.28 = 1.12

red jelly beans cost 0.55 per ounce and there is 3 ounces

3 *0.55 = 1.65

now add the totals: 1.12 +1.65 = 2.77

 this is more than the total they want of 2.20

 so it is not reasonable.

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
