<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.

Your paycheck each week is $500.00. If you want to save $2000 in one year, how much should you set aside from each paycheck?
Mnenie [13.5K]
There are 52 weeks in a year. In order to figure out how much you have to save each week to save a total of $2000, you have to divide $2000 by 52. 

2000÷52= 38.462

So to save $2000 you would have to set aside about $38.50 each week.

A total of 800 pre-sale tickets and tickets at the gate were sold to football city championship game. If the number of tickets s
Nitella [24]

The number of presale tickets sold is 271

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "p" be the number of presale tickets sold

Let "g" be the number of tickets sold at gate

<em><u>Given that, total of 800 Pre-sale tickets and tickets at the gate were sold</u></em>

Therefore,

Presale tickets + tickets sold at gate = 800

p + g = 800 ------ eqn 1

<em><u>Given that, number of tickets sold at the gate was thirteen less than twice the number of pre-sale tickets</u></em>

Therefore,

Number of tickets sold at gate = twice the number of pre-sale tickets - 13

g = 2p - 13 ------- eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>

Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1

p + 2p - 13 = 800

3p -13 = 800

3p = 800 + 13

3p = 813

p = 271

Thus 271 presale tickets were sold

Lets use V for Veggie, and H for Ham.

V=4

H=4.50

She is getting 12 sandwiches, and Every 3 H, she buys one V.

So, the order of her buying the sandwiches would be:

H H H V H H H V H H H V

9 H and 3 V

9*H=40.5

3*V=12

40.5+12= $52.50
