Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's call this number n. Here is the info we can write about it. Remember that to write as a percent as a decimal you divide by 100.

n-0.16n=159.6

We combine like terms.

0.84n=159.6

We divide both sides by 0.84

n=190

Have a wonderful day! :D

The table shows the ratio of caramel corn to cheddar corn in a bag. What is the constant of proportionality?
Anit [1.1K]

For proportionality constant problems, set up the equation as,

x=Ky,

Where x and y are the two variables you are comparing and <em>K </em>is the proportionality constant. If we take <em>Caramel Corn  </em>values as x and <em>Cheddar Corn </em>values as y, and then solve for <em>K </em>for each ratio lines, we will get the same answer. Let's check.

15=K(10)\\K=\frac{15}{10}= \frac{3}{2},

30=K(20)\\K=\frac{30}{20}= \frac{3}{2}, and

45=K(30)\\K=\frac{45}{30}= \frac{3}{2}.

Hence, the proportionality constant, in this case <em>K,</em> is equal to \frac{3}{2} or 1.5. First answer choice is correct.

What are some strategies you could use to find a relationship between x and y?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The statistical relationship between two variables is referred to as their correlation. A correlation could be positive, meaning both variables move in the same direction, or negative, meaning that when one variable's value increases, the other variables' values decrease.

Triangle RST was dilated by a scale factor of . The image, triangle R'S'T', is an isosceles triangle, with each leg measuring 8
Alik [6]
<span>Triangle RST was dilated by a scale factor of 1/2

Given: </span><span>triangle R'S'T', is an isosceles triangle, with each leg measuring 8 units. 

Pre-image: 
measure of pre-image * scale factor = measure of resulting image

measure of pre-image = measure of resulting image / scale factor

measure of pre-image = 8 / 1/2
measure of pre-image = 8 * 2/1 

measure of pre-image = 16 units.</span>
