Answer:

$47500

Step-by-step explanation:

If the amount of sales tax on a new car is directly proportional to the purchase price of the car and Victor bought a new car for $30,000 and paid $1,500 in sales tax and Rita bought a new car from the same dealer and paid $2,375 sales tax, Rita payed $47,500 for her car.

y=20(2375)

y=47500

Answer:

Rita paid 47,500 dollars for the purchase price.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the sales tax on a new car is directly proportional to the purchase price of the car which means there is is something k such that

when you multiply it to the sales tax you get the purchase price.

Let's set this equation:

y=kx

Let y represent the purchase price and x the sales tax.

The second sentence tells us that (x,y)=(1500,30000).

We can plug this into y=kx to find the constant k.  (Constant means it stays the same no matter what the input and output is).

So we have:

30000=k(1500)

300    =k(15)      I went ahead and divided previous equation by 100.

Now divide both sides by 15:

300/15=k

Simplify:

20=k

So the equation to use the answer the question is

y=20x

where y is purchase price and x is sales tax.

So we want to know the purchase price on a car if the sales tax is 2375.

So replace x with 2375:

y=20(2375)

y=47500

What 2 numbers multiply to -147 but add to -14?
Bezzdna [24]
Okay, so let's go over multiplying negative numbers.  A positive times a positive is a positive, right?  But a negative times a negative is also a positive.  Only a negative times a positive (or a positive times a negative) gives you a negative number.  So, we know that one of our 2 numbers in this question must be negative; the other must be positive.

Let's now take a look at the factors of -147, starting with the positives.  Obviously, -147 and 1 are factors: -147 * 1 = -147.  What other factors of -147 are there?

What about 7?  Try it: -147 / 7 = -21.  So here are two factors: -21, and 7.  They multiply to -147.  Do they add up to -14?  Let's see: -21+7 = 7+(-21) = 7-21= -14.  Yup, that works!

Answer: -21 and 7

Is this linear relationship proportional or non-proportional? Y = 5x + 1
Tanya [424]
Plug in numbers in for x. 
If you plug in 0 then you get 1. 1/0 is undefined
If you plug in 1 then you get 6. 6/1 is 6
If you plug in 2 then you get 11. 11/2 is 5.5
If you plug in 3 then you get 16. 16/3 is 5.3 repeating
If you plug in 4 then you get 21. 21/4 is 5.25
If you plug in 5 then you get 26. 26/5 is 5.2
It would only be proportional if you got the same answer after dividing each time.
