Step-by-step explanation:
The constant of variation is found using the slope formula:
The given relation is
X : -2 , -3, -4, -5
Y : -5, -7.5,-10,-12.5
We can use any two ordered pair to find the constant of variation.
Using (-2,-5) and (-3,-7.5), we have
The constant of variation is 2.5
We need to repeat this for all the options to identify the one with -2.5 as slope.
unfortunately, you did not provide the remaining options.
Cost of each bags of flour = $2.50
Cost of each bags of butter = $3.75
Solution:
Let f be the bags of flour and b be the pounds of butter.
Cost of 20 bags of flour 16 pound of butter = 110
⇒ 20f + 16b = 110 -------------------- (1)
Cost of 30 bags of flour 12 pound of butter = 120
⇒ 30f + 12b = 120 -------------------- (2)
Equation (1) and (2) are the system of equations.
(2) ⇒ 30f + 12b = 120
Subtract 30f from both sides.
⇒ 12b = 120 – 30f
Divide by 12 on both sides.
-------------------- (3)
Substitute (3) in (1).
Subtract 160 from both sides.
Divide by –20, we get
f = 2.50
Substitute f = 2.5 in equation (3), we get
b = 3.75
Cost of each bags of flour = $2.50
Cost of each bags of butter = $3.75
