Direct variation means that changes in x will result to changes in y. If x increase, y also increases and vice versa.

y = kx
k = y / x

y = 45 ; x = 40

k = 45/40 
k = 1.125

y = 1.125x 

y will increase by 1.125 interval of x.

Answer:

an equation that relates x and y :

y = 1.125x

Step-by-step explanation:

The direct variation says that:

y \propto x

then equation is of the form:

y = kx where k is the constant of variation.

As per the statement:

The variables x and y vary directly.

then by definition we have;

y = kx                .....[1]

Given that: y = 45 and x = 40

Substitute these in [1] to solve for k;

45=40k

Divide both sides by 40 we have;

1.125 = k

Therefore, an equation that relates x and y :

y = 1.125x

A store has clearance items that have been marked down by 25%. They are having a sale, advertising an additional 40% off clearan
Hatshy [7]

Answer: He would pay 45% of the original price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Let the original price of item be 'x'

Rate mark down by 25%

Amount of marked down would be

\dfrac{25}{100}\times x\\\\=0.25x

Amount after marked down becomes

x-0.25x\\\\=0.75x

Additional clearance items by 40% off

Amount of additional off is given by

\dfrac{40}{100}\times 0.75x\\\\=0.4\times 0.75x\\\\=0.3x

After additional off, the amount becomes,

0.75x-0.3x\\\\=0.45x

Hence, he would pay 45% of the original price.

the pie chart shows the information about the favourite ice cream flavour of each student in a school there are 720 students in
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

chocolate= 180 students

vanilla= 120

strawberry= 210

mango= 210

Step-by-step explanation:

The chocolate section of the pie chart is at a right angle (90 degrees), which means a quarter of the students prefer chocolate

720/4= 180

The vanilla section is 60 degrees which is 2/3 of 90

180/3=60

60x2=120

the mango and strawberry sections represent whats left which is 420 students. The sections are equal to each other so they're each 210 students

Write the inequality to represent the situation: "x can be no more than 5." Copy/paste the symbols if you need to: < > ≤ ≥
Sophie [7]

Answer:

x < 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

If you have a line under the < or > sign, it means x can be less than OR EQUAL TO, since x has to be less than 5, neither of those signs can work. Now, < means less than and > means greater than. For this, x < 5 is the correct answer because we know that x has to be less than 5.

I hope this helps :)
