Answer: 10 books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of books bought be represented by x.

Let the number of dvds bought be represented by y.

The information given in the question can be formed into an equation as:

x + y = 18 ........ i

0.50x + 0.75y = 11 ....... ii

Multiply equation i by 0.75

Multiply equation ii by 1

0.75x + 0.75y = 13.50 ........ iii

0.50x + 0.75y = 11 ........ iv

Subtract iv from iii

0.25x = 2.50

x = 2.50/0.25

x = 10

Samuel bought 10 books

Y is inversely proportional to X.<br><br> When y<br><br> 20, x = 2<br><br> Work out y when x = 5
Oliga [24]

Answer:

When x = 5, y = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

y is inversely proportional to X.

This means that we solve this using the rule of three for inversely proportional variables, that is, we apply line multiplication instead of cross multiplication.

y = 20, x = 2

Work out y when x = 5

20 - 2

x - 5

Applying line multiplication

5y = 40

y = \frac{40}{5}

y = 8

When x = 5, y = 8.
