"something" varies directly to "something else" means
 "something" = "some value" * "something else"
        y = "some value" * x
        y = (a) x
  y = (n)x
<span><span>y=<span>180</span>, x=n⟹<span><span>180</span>=(a)n
</span></span><span>y=n,x=5⟹<span>n=(a)5
</span></span><span>Thus <span>180</span>=(a)n⟹<span><span>180/</span>n</span>=a
Therefore,
</span><span>n=(a)5⟹n=<span>(<span><span>180/</span>n</span>)</span><span>5

The correct value of 'n' is 30.</span></span></span>

Answer:

The value of n for this relation is 30

Step-by-step explanation:

If y varies directly as x, this means that the relation between y and x can be stated as a linear relation of the kind:

y=mx

In the equation, m must be a number, to know exact relation. The two situations that are given can be stated as:

180=m.n

n=m.5

Note that are two unknowns quantities in the equation, m and n. In this particular problem, we must find n. To doing this, we will solve the equation for m:

180=m.n → m =180/n

n=m.5 → m = n/5

As m in both equations must be equal:

m = m  

180/n = n/5

180*5 = n*n

900=n^2 → n = 30

Profit = Income - cost
Profit = 10s - (28 + 3s) = 10s - 28 -3s = 7s - 28.

Profit = 0

0 = 7s - 28

7s = 28
7s = 28/7
s = 4. This is the breakeven point.

Carlota must sell more than 4 shirts to make a profit

Chantal is driving on a highway at a steady speed. She drives 55 miles every hour. Let d be the total distance in miles and let
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

d = 55h

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Chantal drives at a constant speed of 55 miles per hour.

If, d represents the total distance in miles, and

h represents number of hours, the following equation can be used to express the given situation:

d = 55h

For every hour, a distance of 55 miles is covered.

Thus, if h = 1, d = 55(1) = 55 miles

If h = 2, d = 55(2) = 110 miles.

Therefore, d = 55h , is an ideal equation that represents the situation given in the question above.

A bag is on sale for $30. If the sale is 25% off, what was the original price of the bag? Explain your thinking
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

30x25/100

25%=7,5$

30+7,5$=37,5$

The original price was 37,5 because you had to first find out what was 25% in $ to then do the opposite of a sale since we are finding the original price so we have to add it to 30$ since 30$ was the price after the sale.

Hope this helps, have a good day!

Dan buys 24 packets of nuts. Each packet of nuts weighs 225g. Work out the total weight of all the packets of nuts that dan buys
Vlada [557]

Answer:

 Total weight of the nuts bought by Dan =  5.4 kg

Explanation:

Number of packets of nuts bought by Dan = 24

Weight of each packet of nuts = 225g

 Total weight of the nuts bought by Dan = Number of packets of nuts bought by Dan * Weight of each packet of nuts

    Total weight of the nuts bought by Dan = 24 * 225 = 5400 g = 5400/1000 kg = 5.4 kg

    Total weight of the nuts bought by Dan =  5.4 kg
