Answer:
r=2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = k x^r is the formula for a direct variation
y = k x^ -r is the formula for a indirect variation
20= 5 (1/2)^ -r
Divide each side by 5
4 = (1/2) ^ -r
Rewriting
2^2 = 2^ -1 ^ -r
2^2 = 2 ^ r
The bases are the same so
2 =r
29.99-20%= 23.99
25.00-10%= 22.50 so, Mr.chang got the better deal ( but not by much.)
Answer:
your answer is 9/6, which simplifies to 3/2, or 1 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the amount that he pays for his mortgage, so $2042, and divide that by his total pay, $5950. You’ll get .34016907. Then to make a decimal into a percentage, you multiply it by 100. This gives you 34%, meaning he spends less than the national average on housing.
