Answer:

Kevin's constant of proportionality,k = $8.25 per hour

Greg's constant of proportionality,k = $9 per hour

Savannah's constant of proportionality,k = $9.5 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

1. What is the constant of proportionality, k, of Kevin's wage? Greg's? Savannah's?

Solution

y = kx is a proportional variation

Where,

y and x are represent two different variables

k represent constant of proportionality

From the attached table,

Let

y = wages earned (in dollars)

x = hours worked

To find the constant of proportionality k of Kevin's wage, divide the variable y (total earned) by the variable x (number of hours)

Using any points on the table

Take (8,66.00) for example

constant of proportionality k of Kevin's wage = variable y (total earned) / variable x (number of hours)

= 66.00/8

= 8.25

k = $8.25 per hour

B. Constant of proportionality of Greg's wage = variable y (total earned) / variable x (number of hours)

Using (9, 81.00)

k = 81.00/9

= 9

Greg's k = $9 per hour

C. Constant if proportionality of Savannah's wage = variable y (total earned) / variable x (number of hours)

Using (6, 57.00)

k = 57.00/6

= 9.5

Savannah's k = $9.5 per hour

Therefore,

Kevin's constant of proportionality,k = $8.25 per hour

Greg's constant of proportionality,k = $9 per hour

Savannah's constant of proportionality,k = $9.5 per hour

Suppose y varies directly as x, and y = 21 when x = 3. Find x when y = 42.
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

y₂ - y₁

42 - 21 = 21

x + 21

3 + 21 = 24

So when y increases by 21, so does x.

x = 24

A container has 12 and 3/4 cups of lemonade .asher gives each of his classmates 7/8 of a cup of lemonade . He gives away all of
Agata [3.3K]

Asher gave lemonade to 14 students

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, A container has 12 and \frac{3}{4} cups of lemonade

Asher gives each of his classmates \frac{7}{8} of a cup of lemonade

To find: Number of classmates received the lemonade

From given question,

Total cups of lemonade = 12\frac{3}{4}

\rightarrow 12\frac{3}{4} = \frac{4 \times 12 + 3}{4} = \frac{51}{4}

cups of lemonade received by each classmate = \frac{7}{8}

Thus, number of classmates received the lemonade can be found by dividing total cups of lemonade by cups of lemonade received by each classmate

\rightarrow \frac{\frac{51}{4}}{\frac{7}{8}}=\frac{51}{4} \times \frac{8}{7}

\rightarrow 14.57

Thus Asher gave lemonade to 14 students

Un capital de 4000 lei este plasat în regim de dobândă simplă pe o perioadă de 3 ani cu rata dobânzii
9966 [12]

Answer:

960

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple interest formula is the following:

I = P*r*t

Where I is the interest generated after t years, P is the inicial value and r is the rate of interest.

In this case, we have that the inicial value is P = 4000, the rate of interest is r = 8% = 0.08 and the amount of time invested is t = 3 years.

So, the interest will be:

I = 4000*0.08*3 = 960
