Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form or
where
k is the constant of proportionality
The slope of the linear equation is the same that the constant of proportionality
In this problem we have
so
the slope is
therefore
The constant of proportionality k is
If you translate this problem literally, it is saying, “72 is what percent of 288?”. And the equational translation of that is 72 = (x/100) • 288
[ “is” means equal to (=) // “what” means x or another variable // “percent” means divided by 100” // “of” means multiplication. ]
Then you solve that equation.
(you can check it by googling what is 25% of 288. )
