Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the value of x varies directly as the value of y we can say they are directly proportional. This implies that when y increases x will increase too, and when y decreases x will also decrease.

If x=16 when y=3/4 we can write their relation as:

x/y = 16/(3/4) = 16*(4/3) = 64/3

So, for every value of y, the ratio x/y must maintain equal to 64/3 because both values are proportional.

Now we can see what happens to x when y varies. If y=3/8:

x/(3/8) = 64/3

Multiply both sides by 3/8 to eliminate the 3/8 in the denominator.

x/(3/8) * (3/8) = (64/3) * (3/8)

See that we have a 3 multiplying and another dividing, we can eliminate them.

x = 64/8

x = 8

So, if y decreases to 3/8 x will decrease to 8. Notice that y is decreasing in a half as 3/8 is the half of 3/4, and x is also decreasing in a half from 16 to 8, what makes sense.

At a particular restaurant, each pizza roll has 60 calories and each mini hotdog has 70 calories. A combination meal with pizza
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

There are 9 pizza rolls and 12 mini hotdogs in the meal.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question.

Let x be the number of pizza rolls sold and y be the number of mini hotdogs in the combination meal.

Total number of items in combination meal = 21

Thus, we can write the equation:

x + y = 21

Calorie in a pizza roll = 60

Calorie in a mini hotdog = 70

Total calories = 1380

Thus, we can write the equation:

60x + 70y = 1380

Solving the two equations, we get,

60x + 70y - (60x+60y) = 1380 - 60(21) \\10y = 120\\\Rightarrow y = 12\\\Rightarrow x = 21-12 = 9

Thus, there are 9 pizza rolls and 12 mini hotdogs in the meal.
