a constant of proportionality is a number you have to multiply x by to get y.
y=kx is the equation that expresses the proportionality of x and y
in this case, 10 video games cost $145
the question's basically asking what you have to multiply 10 by to get 145
y= 145; x=10
k= y/x = 145/10=14.5
the constant of proportionality is 14.5

We can set up a proportion, and let x be the amount 16kg would cost: 14/154=16/x. We simplify 14/154 = 1/11. Next, we cross-multiply to get (1)(x)=(16)(11), so x=176. Therefore, 16kg of apples cost $176.

Answer:
(x + 2)² + (y + 9)² = 49
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation:
(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²
(x - -2)² + (y - -9)² = 7²
(x + 2)² + (y + 9)² = 49
Let us assume the total amount of meal charge paid by Michael without tax = x
Then
Amount paid to the waiter by Michael = 15x/100
Sales tax paid by Michael = 5x/100
Now we get the equation as
x + (5x/100) + (15x/100) = 18
(100x + 5x + 15x)/100 = 18
120x/100 = 18
120x = 1800
x = 1800/120
= 180/12
= 15 dollars
So the amount paid by Michael for the meal before tax and tip is $15. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
