The number of items (N) that can be purchased for a given amount of money is inversely proportional to the cost (C) of an item.

If 480 items can be purchased when the cost per item is $4.90, how many items can be purchased when the cost per item is $5.40? Round to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

436 items

Step-by-step explanation:

When a quantity A is inversely proportional to another quantity B, we can write:

A=\frac{k}{B}

Where k is the proportionality constant  [that we need to find]

For this problem, we can write the ratio as:

N=\frac{k}{C}

Now given N = 480 and C = 4.90, we first find k:

N=\frac{k}{C}\\480=\frac{k}{4.90}\\k=4.90*480\\k=2352

Now, as second step, we need this time to find N, when

C = 5.40

Note, we know know k = 2352, so we find N:

N=\frac{k}{C}\\N=\frac{2352}{5.40}\\N=435.55

Rounding to next whole number, we have 436 items

Answer: B

You can find slope by using the slope formula. Because we are already given two coordinate points, we can use that to find our slope. The slope formula is \frac{y^{2}-y^{1}  }{x^{2}-x^{1} }. This also refers to \frac{5-(-5)}{0-4} or 10/-4 or -5/2. Any coordinate with the x-value as 0 means that that coordinate is the y-intercept. Because (0,5) has 0 as its x-value, the y-intercept is 5.

I find a graphing calculator to be a useful tool.

For solving this "by hand," you put the x- and y-values into the equation and check to see if it is true.

A. 2(0) +3(12) = 36 ≠ 24

B. 2(2) +3(9) = 31 ≠ 24

C. 2(3) +3(6) = 24 . . . . . a solution

D. 2(8) +3(0) = 16 ≠ 24
