Midpoint Formula Application...1

The Coca-Cola Company had sales of $35,123
million in 2010 and $45,998 million in 2014. Use the
Midpoint Formula to estimate the sales in 2012. Assume that the sales followed a linear pattern.

Let me see.

Let M = midpoint

M = [(2010 + 2014)/2, (35,123 + 45,998)/2]

M = (4024/2, 81,121/2)

M = (2012, 40,560.1)

The sales in 2012 were 40,560.1.

Is this right?

ESTIMATED sales. Correct.

Interesting way to use the midpoint formula to answer this question and others like it.
