Let y represent <span>the number of square yards
Let x the number of square feet.
Then y varies directly with x.

y = kx
where k is the constant of variation.
y = 3 yards^2
x  = 27 feet^2

3 = k(27)
k = 3/27
k = 1 yard^2 /9 feet^2

So the constant of variation is </span>1 yard^2 <span>/9 feet^2.</span>

Louis has three more quarters than dimes in his pocket, for a total of $1.80. which of the following equation could be used to d
vodka [1.7K]
Number of dimes: x
Number of quarters:  x + 3
Answer:
B ) 0.10 x + 0.25 ( x + 3 ) = $1.80
Also we can solve this equation:
0.10 x + 0.25 x + 0.75 = 1.80
0.35 x = 1.80 - 0.75
0.35 x = 1.05
x = 1.05 : 0.35
x = 3,  x  + 3 = 6
He has 6 quarters and 3 dimes. 
( 6 * 0.25 + 3 * 0.10 = 1.50 + 0.30 = $1.80 - correct)

I would say it is A because if you subtract <em>p,</em> the original price by $2.50, you would get <em>d, </em>the discounted price. Look at B u see that you're adding the discount which doesn't make sense. Looking at C, the discounted price of different prices can't always be the same. And finally, D, the discounted price is greater than the original. Also, if you subtract you would get different discounts.
