I can only write a inequality here but here goes...
since she can atleast type 50 per minute that means the equation would be x >50 (you would also put the line under the > because it can equal it) (x is the amount she can type)
The answer is x=1.76 or 2
I'm guessing the % of syrup refers to the % of sugar it has, therefore:
50% = 50 / 100 = 0.5
0.5 * x = 0.5
x = 0.5/0.5
x = 1
She will have 1 lbs of syrup
Adding 2x to both sides we get
y = 2x
This is direct variation where the constant is 2.
