On an X temperature scale, water freezes at -125.00 X and boils at 375.00 X. On a Y temperature scale, water freezes at - 70.00Y and boils at - 30.00Y. A temperature of 50.00Y on Y temperature scale is equal to the value in X temperature scale

A

455.00 X

B

-125.00X

C

1375.00 X

D

1500.00 X

Answer

1375.00 X

Explanation

Solution

Using

X(125)500=Y(70)40\frac { X - ( - 125 ) } { 500 } = \frac { Y - ( - 70 ) } { 40 }

For Y = 50

X = 1375.00X
