You would set up the problem like this: 3n-25=38
To solve for n:
3n-25=38
+25 +25 (Add 25 to both sides)
3n=63
/3 /3 (Divide by 3 on both sides)
n=21
The answer is 21.
We can set up a proportion, and let x be the amount 16kg would cost: 14/154=16/x. We simplify 14/154 = 1/11. Next, we cross-multiply to get (1)(x)=(16)(11), so x=176. Therefore, 16kg of apples cost $176.

We know that the amounts earned by Dawn, Doug and Dale are from the list of numbers: $9.35, $8.52 and $8.25
We also know that Dale and Doug earned close to $9.00
And that Dawn earned $1.10 less than Dale
Let the amount earned by Dale be x
⇒ Amount earned by Dawn is x - 1.1
If we notice the list of numbers, we see that $9.35 and $8.25 differ by $1.1
Hence, Dale earned $9.35 and Dawn earned $8.25
We are now left with $8.52, which should be the amount earned by Doug. This is correct, since we also know that Doug earned close to $9.
Hence, the amounts earned are:
Dale: $9.35
Doug: $8.52
Dawn: $8.25
Y=3.6x is direct variation. The constant is 3.6
8y=2x is the same as y=0.25x. It is direct variation, and the constant is 0.25
1. Assuming "dinners made" is on the y-axis, DV is y=2x. The constant is 2
2. This is not direct variation, and therefore does not have a constant of variation
62$ (earns of 1 week) multiplied with 52 weeks (how often he earns the 62$) is 3224
