Question

A local fast food restaurant takes in $9000 in a 4 hour period, where the amount taken in varies directly with the number of hours the restaurant is open. Use the
direct variation formula to estimate how many hours it would take the restaurant to earn $25,000. Round your answer to the nearest tenth (one decimal place)..

Answer 1

As per the direct variation formula, it take  11 hours : 6 minutes : 36 seconds to earn $25,000 for the restaurant.

Direct variation:

Direct Variation is said to be the relationship between two variables in which one is a constant multiple of the other.

Direct variation equation: y = kx

Given,

A local fast food restaurant takes in $9000 in a 4 hours period. Write a direct variation equation for the relationship income and number of hours.

Here we need to estimate how many hours it would take the restaurant to earn $25,000.

a) Let us consider income (I) directly varies to number of hours (h) where k is the constant of variation.

I = kh   ⇒  Direct variation equation

Solve for k:

9,000 = (k)(4)

k = 9,000/4

k = 2,250

b) When income (I) = 25,000, find the number of hours:

I = kh

25,000 = (2,250) (h)

h = 25,000/2,250

h = 11.11

It will take approximately 11 hours : 6 minutes : 36 seconds for the restaurant to earn $25,000.
