The given is that y varies directly with x:
y = xk
8 = 2k
k = 4
Now we know that the constant is 4. Make a new equation:
y = xk
y = 10(4)
y = 40
-T.B.
[C] 0.05b + 0.25s + 0.4n = 20
b = balloons
s = streamers
n = noisemaker
Since they already give us the price of each item we just need to add a variable at the end of each one since we don't know how many of each item is bought. Adding the costs of all the party supplies should not go over $20. We can automatically eliminate B and D. We can also eliminate A because the prices of each item are incorrect. Therefore, C is the correct answer.
Best of Luck!
To find how many sixth graders there are we need to find out how many students there are in 1/5 in the school. Divide 200 by 2 to find 1/5 of the school.
Since 3/5 of the school is 6th graders we multiply 100 by 3 to find that there are 300 students in the 6th grade.
