If y varies directly as x, and y is 6 when x is 72, what is the value of y when x is 8?

Answer:

For the case when x = 8, we have that y = 2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea that y varies directly as x, can be written in an equation as:

y = k*x, where k is an unknown constant (until now).

We know that y=6 when x=72, then, substituting these values in the above formula gives us the value of k:

6 = k*72, then: k = 6/72 = 1/12.

Now, we can rewrite our initial expression with the known value of k as:

y = (1/12)*x

For the case when x = 8, we have that:

y = (1/12)*8 = 8/12 = 2/3.

Roland’s Boat Tours sells deluxe and economy seats for each tour it conducts. In order to complete a tour, at least 1 economy se
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

$1170

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sells for economy seats be =x

Let the sells for deluxe seats be=y

The inequalities that can be obtained are;

x≥1  --------------------at least 1 economy seats

y≥6 --------------------at least 6 deluxe seats

x+y=30-----------------maximum number of passengers allowed on each boat

Graph the inequalities

Use the graph tool to locate the point of maximum profit.The intersecting point for the three graphs

The point is (24,6)

Hence, x=24 and y=6

Profit for each

Economy seats 24×$40=$960

Deluxe seats 6×$35=$210

Maximum profit for one tour

$960+$210=$1170
