The numeric constant of variation is 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct proportion means that increase in one variable cause increase in other variable

Here,

It is given that

y varies directly as x

y∝x

when the proportionality symbol is removed a proportionality constant is introduced

$y = kx$

Given that

y = 100 when x = 4

Putting the values

$400 = k * 4\\k = \frac{400}{4}\\k = 100$

The numeric constant of variation is 100
