<u>Finding the proportionality constant</u> :

  • y = k/x
  • 16 = k/(1/2)
  • <u>k = 8</u>

<u>Finding y when x = 17</u> :

  • y = 8/(17)
  • y = 8/17

The value of y is <u>8/17</u> when x = 17.

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

300 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original amount = x

x - 2/5x  was what his mother's share looked.

5/5 x - 2/5 x

3/5x is what is left.

3/5 x - 1/4 * 3/5 x - 2/3x * 3/5 = his sister's share and his brothers

3/5x - 1/4*3/5 x - 2/3 * 3/5 = 15

3/5x * (1 - 1/4 - 2/3) = 15

3/5 x 5/60 = 15

15 / 300 * x = 15

1/20  x = 15

x = 15 * 20

x = 300
