Answer 1

Answer:

There were 53 cakes ordered.

Step-by-step explanation:

☆Cross multiply.

$\frac{3 \: cakes}{50.67 \: dollars} = \frac{x}{895.17 \: dollars} \\ \\ \frac{50.67x}{50.67} = \frac{2685.51}{50.67} \\ \\ x = 53$

Answer 2

constant of proportionality: k = y/x

- plug in numbers to find:

k = 84.45 / 5

= 16.89

so, constant of proportionality: 16.89

equation:

y = kx (now plug in)

y = 16.89x

- plug in again to find the amount of cakes

y = 16.89x

895.17 = 16.89x

x = 53

53 cakes
