Practice Question 4hardProblem Solving

A power plant tracks its daily energy output using two sensors, A and B, placed at different points in the distribution network. Sensor A records output values between 5 and 50 megawatts MWMW, while sensor B records values between 100 and 1000 MW. Both sensors use the same linear scaling formula to convert raw measurements to displayed values: Displayed Value=k×Raw Reading+b\text{Displayed Value} = k \times \text{Raw Reading} + b. Sensor A shows a reading of 20 MW when the raw measurement is 8 units, and 35 MW when the raw measurement is 14 units. Sensor B uses the same scaling constants kk and bb. If sensor B shows a reading of 550 MW, what is the corresponding raw measurement?

A.

22

B.

44

C.

55

D.

110

E.

220
