The value of x when y = 14 is 8.4

<h3 />

<h3>How to solve variation ?</h3>

y, varies directly as x. Therefore,

y ∝ x

Therefore,

y = kx

where

k =constant of proportionality

Therefore,

10 = 6k

k = 10 / 6

k = 5 / 3

Hence, when y = 14

y = kx

14 = 5 / 3 x

cross multiply

42 = 5x

x = 42 / 5

x = 8.4

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

There were 120 people in total.

60% were parents.

Number of parents attended.

Solution:

1. 60% of 120

It can also be written as:

$\frac{60}{100}\times \frac{120}{1}$

Simplify

Cancel zeros

$\frac{60}{100}\\\\=\frac{6}{10}$

Divide by common factor (2)

$\frac{6\div2}{10\div2}=\frac{3}{5}$

2. $\bold{\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{120}{1}}$

Multiply

$\frac{3\times120}{5\times1} = \frac{360}{5}$

Divide

$\frac{360}{5}= 360\div5=72$

Therefore, 72 parents attended the game.
