Answer:
y = 38x
Step-by-step explanation:
The constant of proportionality (k) is the value of y when x=1. The table shows that to be 38. Then the equation is ...
y = kx
y = 38x
Hello there, my fellow human being!
So, the chicken costs $8 and the duck costs $5, here's why.
Let's say x is the cost of a chicken while y is the cost of a duck.
We can make two linear equations using the information above.
Last month, he sold 50 chickens and 30 ducks for $550: 50x + 30y= 550
This month, he sold 44 chicken and 36 ducks for $532: 44x + 36y = 532
50x/10 + 30y/10 = 440/10
44x/4 + 36y/4 = 532/4
5x + 3y = 44
11x + 9y = 133
So, now that we have our answer simplified, we have to use elimination to solve this system of equations. But, first we need to make sure that at least one of our variables is able to be canceled out.
Let's multiply this equation by -3.
(5x + 3y = 44) * -3.
-15x-9y=-165.
11x + 9y = 133
-15x - 9y = -165
______________
-4x/4 = -32/4
x = 8
11x + 9y = 133
11(8) + 9y = 133
88 + 9y = 133
-88 -88
________________
9y/9 = 45/9
y = 5.
444 ÷ 2 = 222
444 ÷ 3 = 148
90 ÷ 2 = 45
90 ÷ 3 = 30
90 ÷ 5 = 18
90 ÷ 10 = 9
45 ÷ 3 = 15
45 ÷ 5 = 9
So 444 can be divided into 2 and 3
90 can be divided into 2, 3, 5, and 10
45 can be divided into 3 and 5
Hope this helps. :)
60% of 20 = 12
I hope this helps! :)
