The dependent variable is the number of votes
The area surface is “20,736”
5280 feet in a mile
3.25 x 5280 = 17160 feet
Since both equations equal Y, set them equal to each other and solve.
3x -1 = -2x +9
Add 2x to each side:
5x - 1 = 9
Add 1 to each side:
5x = 10
Divide both sides by 5:
x = 10/5
x = 2
Now replace x with 2 and solve for y:
y = 3(2) -1 = 6-1 = 5
x = 2, y = 5 (2,5)
Using proportions, it is found that 66 people in the survey worked on election day.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.
For this problem, the amounts of people who worked are:
Hence the total amount is given by:
0.64 x 50 + 0.4 x 85 = 66.
66 people in the survey worked on election day.
