Hello! Based on this problem, 68 is part of a whole. To solve it, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:

68/x = 85/100

Cross multiply the sections. 68 * 100 is 6,800 and 85 * x is 85x. So you get 6,800 = 85x. Now, divide each side by 85 to isolate the x. 85x/85 cancels out. 6,800/85 is 80. We can check this answer by multiplying 80 by 85%. 80 * 85% (0.85) is 68. There's our answer. 68 is 85% of 80.

The table shows how much a store charges for certain numbers of pencils. Number of pencils (p) Cost (c) 4 $0.72 7 $1.26 12 $2.16

Arada [10]

Find the rate of change, (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), from the data given...

(2.16-1.26)/(12-7)=0.18

(1.26-0.72)/(7-4)=0.18

Since the rate is constant, this is a linear equation of the form y=mx+b. Furthermore, since 0 pencils cost 0, b=0, so the cost of the pencils is simply the number of pencils times 18 cents...

c(p)=0.18p (cost with respect to pencils is 0.18 times the number of pencils)
