Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose you drive a car 392 miles on one tank of gas. The tank holds 14 gallons of gas. This means that
1 gallon of gas would be used to drive 392/14 = 28 miles
a) The number of miles traveled varies directly with the number of gallons of gas used.
Let x =number of gallons of gas you use.
Let y = the number of miles travelled.
Since y varies directly with x, we will introduce a constant of proportionality, k. Therefore,
y = kx
If 28 miles will require 1 gallon of gas, it means
28 = 1×k
k = 28
So y = 28x
b) we want to determine how far you can drive with 3.7 gallons of gas.
x = 3.7
y = 28x = 28×3.7
y = 103.6 miles
If 19 out of 28 renters keep a pet, there are 
renters who don't keep a pet.
Whenever you have a subset of some set, and you want to know which percentage of the set the subset represents, you simply have to compute
So, in your case, you're wondering what percentage of 28 does 9 represent. So, the formula becomes
Just multiply $20 with $75 (oh by the way, thr money sign goes first!)
Teresa gave away 8 baseball cards and has 4 left. 8 plus 4 means she originally had 12. Right now she has 4 out of her original 12 cards remaining. This gives us 4/12. We can simplify this by dividing our greatest common factors. 4 goes into both parts of our fraction, when we divide each part by 4 we end up with 1/3. Since we are unable to simplify this problem any further, this means our solution and fraction is 4/12 aka 1/3.
