- An outpatient operating room charges each patient a fixed amount per surgery plus an amount per minute for use. One patient was charged 250 for a 30-minute surgery and another patient was charged 450 for a 90-minute surgery. Determine the linear function that would be used to compute the charges. Use the function to determine the charge when a patient has a 45-minute surgery.arrow_forwardSales Barnes & Noble had annual sales of $6.8 billion in 2013 and $6.1 billion in 2015. Use the Midpoint Formula to estimate the sales in 2014. Assume that the annual sales followed a linear pattern.arrow_forward
