84.375 is the profit ALREADY made, so now subtract that from 180 dollars to get
95.625 $ needed, now divide by amount of profit per box...
Answer should be
85 boxes
Ummm I think the answer is 9
900x300=270,000 plus 2 would equal 270,002.4 devided by 3-2001 would equal 87,999.8
The direct variation between x and y may be written as,
y = kx
where k is the constant of variation. From the first set of values of the variables,
12 = k(8)
the value of k is 1.5. Substituting the next set to the same equation,
y = 1.5(14)
The value of y is 21.
