Answer:

-8 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

"y varies directly as x" translates into y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

We are told that when x = 16, y = 4.  Thus, 4 = k(16), and k = 1/4.

Then y = (1/4)x.

If y = -2, what is x?    -2 = (1/4)x.

Multiplying both sides by 4 eliminates the fraction:

-8 = x

Last week at best bargain, 75% of computers sold were laptops. If 340 computer were sold there last week, how many laptops were
Eddi Din [679]
Total number of computers sold last week from Best Bargain = 340
Percentage of laptops sold last week from Best Bargain = 75%
These are the information's that we can find given in the question. Based on these information's the answer to the question can be easily found.
Number of laptops sold from Best Bargain last week = 340 * (75/100)
                                                                                     = 340 * (3/4)
                                                                                      = 85 * 3
                                                                                       = 255
So out of the total of 340 computers sold from Best Bargain last week, 255 were laptops. I hope this is the answer you were looking for.
