Keywords:

<em>Variation constant, directly proportional, temperature, pressure </em>

For this case, we must find the constant of variation, knowing that the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature, knowing the values of pressure and temperature. So, we have:

P = aK

Where "a" is the constant of variation or constant of proportionality

If P = 7 \frac {lb} {in ^ 2}\\T = 420K

Substituting:

7 \frac {lb} {in ^ 2} = a*420K

Clearing to:

a = \frac {7} {420} \frac {lb} {K * in ^ 2}, if we divide by 7 the numerator and denominator we have:

Thus, the constant of variation is given by:

a = \frac {1} {60} \frac {lb} {K * in ^ 2}

Answer:

The variation constant is given by: a = \frac {1} {60} \frac {lb} {K * in ^ 2}

Larry earns $11.25/hour selling televisions. He also earns 4.5% commission on his sales. What is his
monitta

Answer:

C) $573.75

Step-by-step explanation:

We can come up with the equation of this Gross Weekly pay as:

P(t)=11.25t+0.045S

Where P is the amount Larry will get paid, t is the time worked and S is the amount of sales he generated that week.  This was derived from the fact that 11.25 is the slope and 0.045S is the y-intercept.  By plugging in those values we have:

P(35)=11.25(35)+0.045(4000)=573.75

C) $573.75
