Answer:

(6, 2.5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is

y = \frac{k}{x} ← k is the constant of variation

To find k substitute the coordinate point (5, 3 ) into the equation, that is

3 = \frac{k}{5} ( multiply both sides by 5 )

15 = k

y = \frac{15}{x} ← equation of variation

Using (x, 2.5 ) with y = 2.5 , then

2.5 = \frac{15}{x} ( multiply both sides by x )

2.5x = 15 ( divide both sides by 2.5 )

x = 6

Thus point is (6, 2.5 )

Use the table to write a proportion
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

n = 17

\frac{n}{85}= \frac{34}{170}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{n}{85}= \frac{34}{170}

n · 170 = 34 · 85

170y = 2890

170y ÷ 170 = 2890 ÷ 170

y = 17

the sale price of a pair of pants is 65% of te regular price of $25. How much so you save by buying the pants on sale?
zysi [14]
$25 times 0.65 = $16.25 & then you do $25 - $16.25 which equals $8.75. So you save $8.75 by buying the pants on sale.
