Question

If the tip varies directly with the number of guest,which equation represents the relationshipbbetween the tip,t,and the number ofbguest

Answer 1

If the tip, t, varies directly with the number of guests, g, then it means that any change in tip there is a corresponding change in the number of guests. When the tip increases the number of guests increases as well. Therefore,

t α g

To change the it to equal sign, we incorporate a proportionality constant, k.

t = kg

This equation will represent the relation of t to g.
