Inverse Variation is shown through the formula y=k/x
plug in the given values and solve for k: 3=k/5 so k=15
Answer: y=15/x
$40.50 10 boxes at 6lbs = 60lbs
36 boxes at 12 ounces = 432 ounces dived by 16(16 oz in a lbs)= 27 lbs
60 lbs plus 27 lbs = 87 lbs total weight
87lbs - 20lbs($12)= 67lbs - 30 lbs($10)= 37lbs x .50($.50 per pound)= $18.50
$12+$10+$18.50= $40.50
The answer is 52,000.
You have to add all of the values and divide them by the number of values. In this case you would do 30,000 + 50,000 + 30,000 + 80,000 + 70,000 which equals 260,000 then you would divide that number by 5 since there are 5 values.
