The answer would be 14/45
Answer:
Therefore the maximum number of video games that we can purchase
is 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
i) Let us say the number of video game system we can buy that costs $185
is x and the number of video games of cost $14.95 is y.
ii) The total amount we can spend on the purchase of the video game
system is $280.
iii) Now with the amount of $280 mentioned in ii) we can see that the
number of game systems that can be bought is 1.
Therefore x = 1.
Therefore the equation we can write to equate the number of video
games and video game system is given by $185 + $14.95 × y ≤ 280
Therefore 14.95 × y ≤ 280 - 185 = 95
Therefore y ≤ 95 ÷ 14.95 = 6.355
Therefore the maximum number of video games that we can purchase
is 6.
The answer is 5 cause two less then 7 is 5.
Answer:
k = 42
the constant of proportionality in this inverse variation is 42.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of people that want cake
And y the number of slices each can have;
Since x is inversely proportional to y;
x = k/y .....1
Where k is the proportionality constant;
To solve for k, we will substitute any of the case scenario given into equation 1.
If 14 people want cake, then they can each have 3 slices;
x = 14 , y = 3
substituting;
14 = k/3
k = 14 × 3 = 42
k = 42
the constant of proportionality in this inverse variation is 42.
Therefore,
x = 42/y
