140 (number of customers) * .65 (% of customers who ordered a large coffee) = 91 customers who ordered a large coffee
Thanks for the free points
15% off means 85% on so I would use .85x · 6 = total monthly cost to represent this problem. The dot represents times (I did not want to confuse things by using x)
Other ways to express this:
6 x .85x
6(.85x)
.85x (6)
Answer:
b = 30 / a
which agrees with the third expression in the list of possible options
Step-by-step explanation:
When we say that a and b vary inversely, that means that in mathematical form:
b = k / a where "k" is the so called "constant of proportionality". In order to write the function that models this inverse variation, we need to find the value of "k". We do such by using the information they provide (b = 5/2 when a = 12):
5/2 = k / 12
Then, solving for "k":
5 * 12 / 2 = k
60 / 2 = k
k = 30
Then we can now write the function that models this inverse variation:
b = k / a
b = 30 / a
