Answer:
y=8x/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that 8 euros were worth $9 and
24 euros were worth $27.
Let y represent the number of Euros and x no of dollars.
Given that the relation is of the form y = kx+C
When x=0 y =0,
i.e. C =0
Hence equation is of the form y = kx
Substitute x=8 and y =9
We get 9 = 8k
Or k =8/9
Hence relation is y=8x/9 is the relation between x and y.
WE can verify this for 27 dollars worth 24 euros.
24 =8/9(27) is true.
Thus equation is verified.
Percent decrease = (original number - new number) / original number....* 100
= (45 - 27.5) / 45.....* 100
= 17.5 / 45....* 100
= 0.3888 * 100
= 38.9 % decrease <== thats rounded
8x-19=-3x-41
+3x +3x
11x-19=-41
+19 +19
11x=-22
÷11 ÷11
x=-2
