sry,must have accidentally deleted it,i typed that you have to join all the points usually UNLESS otherwise stated which is never.the usual graphs we get are about cumulative frequency and equation lines in which we have to join all the points.Sorry about earlier.:(

For 20 Calenders,
He Earns = (20*120)(10/100) = Rs. 240

For 75 Calenders,
He Earns = (75*120)(25/100) = Rs. 2250

10-3(2x-1)=3x+1
10-6x+3=3x+1
13-9x=1
-9x=-12
x=12/9
x=4/3
4/3 is correct. The answer in the mark scheme doesn't even satisfy the equation!

sorry to disturb u but i was talkning about add maths question in which we have to change a curve's equation into a straight line to find some constants etc. in that question however the values of markscheme did no lie on a straight line. i was asking if we have to draw besst-fit lines or there was some problem with answers

Hey how u do this one
the average salary of male m employess and f female employees is $a . and avg salary of male are $b. find female average
Average of m & f = $a
Average of m = $b
Let average of f = x
$a = ($b + x)/2
Hence,
x = 2$a - $b
