Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If a given variable varies directly with another variable, it means that an increase in the value of the given variable results in a corresponding increase in the value of the other variable. Also, a decrease in the value of the given variable results in a corresponding decrease in the value of the other variable.

If value of y varies directly with x, we would introduce a constant of variation so that the expression becomes

y = kx

When x = 13, y = 104. Substituting into the above expression, it becomes

104 = 13k

k = 104/13

k = 8

The equation becomes

y = 8x

Therefore, when x = 2.5,

y = 8 × 2.5

y = 20

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

44000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the initial value of Otto's internet stock, in dollars. At the beginning of the year, the total value of his portfolio is w+10,000 dollars. At the end of the year, the total value of his portfolio is 1.1w+9,000 dollars. Since increasing by 6% is equivalent to multiplying by 1.06, we have

1.06(w+10,000)=1.1w +9,000

Distributing and collecting terms, we find w=40,000. At the end of the year, his internet stock is worth 40,000* 1.1=44,000 dollars.
