Step-by-step explanation:

P = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that P varies inversely with x then the equation relating them is

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

To find k use the condition P = 7 when x = 8 , then

7 = \frac{k}{8} ( multiply both sides by 8 )

56 = k

P = \frac{56}{x} ← equation of variation

When x = 7 , then

P = \frac{56}{7} = 8

333 erasers cost \$4.41$4.41dollar sign, 4, point, 41. Which equation would help determine the cost of 444 erasers? Choose 1 ans

Answer:

Option D will be correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 333 erasers cost $4.41.

We have to determine the cost of 444 erasers.

Let the price of 444 erasers is $x.

Therefore, since the number of erasers cost per dollars is constant, hence the equation that would help to determine the cost of 444 erasers will be $\frac{333}{4.41} = \frac{444}{x}$

⇒ $\frac{3}{4.41} = \frac{4}{x}$

Therefore, option D will be correct. (Answer)
