Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies directly with x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 24 when x = - 15, then

24 = - 15k ( divide both sides by - 15 )

k = \frac{24}{-15} = - \frac{8}{5} = - 1.6 , thus

y = - 1.6x ← equation of variation

When y = 16, then

16 = - 1.6x ( divide both sides by - 1.6 )

x = - 10 → c

The members of a book club spend the same amount of money for refreshments at each meeting. At one meeting they bought 6 bagels
Tom [10]

The members of a book club spend $0.4 for each Bagel as refreshment.

Let x represent the cost of each bagel.

At a meeting, they bought 6 bagels and spent $9.00 on beverages, hence:

Cost = 6x + 9

At another meeting, they bought 8 bagels and spent $8.20 on beverages, hence:

Cost = 8x + 8.20

Since the same money is spent on each meeting, hence:

6x + 9 = 8x + 8.2

2x = 0.8

x = $0.4

Therefore the cost of each bagel is $0.4

Answer:

  5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the smaller circles is proportional to the square of the ratio of their diameters. The two smallest circles have diameters equal to 1/4 the diameter of the largest circle. Hence their areas are (1/4)^2 = 1/16 of that of the largest circle.

Similarly, the medium circle has a diameter half that of the largest circle, so its area is (1/2)^2 = 1/4 of the are of the largest circle.

The smaller circles subtract 2×1/16 +1/4 = 3/8 of the area of the largest circle. Then the shading is 1-3/8 = 5/8 of the area of the largest circle.
