27.99x.075= 2.09925 or 2.10 Rounded
27.99+2.10= $30.09
2 is the slope so the slope perpendicular to that is -1/2 (negative reciprocal)
-5=-1/2(9) 9*-1/2=-4.5 and -4.5 - 0.5 = -5 so the equation for the line is y=-1/2x -0.5
The table you drew under the question is exactly the right way to start.
-- Make a second column, next to the 6 and 7. This column will be
the actual number of each thing.
-- You know that there are 42 marbles, so write '42' in the box
next to the 6, on the 'Marbles' line.
Now you need to figure out what to write in the 'Stones' line, next to the 7.
-- Look at the 'Marbles' line. There's a 6 and then a 42.
Ask yourself: " Self ! What does the 6 have to be multiplied with to get 42 ?"
-- Whatever the answer is, drop down to the 'Stones' line,
and multiply the 7 by the same number.
The product is the total number of stones, and it goes in the box.

(The mystery number is 7. There are 49 stones.)
Donald will have 20x+10 dollars
the bag of rice weighs 4.5 pounds
Multiply 4.5 with 16 oz (as 1 lb = 16 oz)
4.5 x 16 = 72.
The bag of rice has 72 oz of rice inside.
The recipe only needs 60 oz of rice ∴ True, you will have enough, with 12 oz left over.
hope this helps
