When it says varies directly, it means that y and x are going to be on opposite sides of the equals sign and that there is a constant, k,
y=kx
Plug in (5,100)
100=k(5)
K=20
1) Work out what 1/5 of 12 is
To do this, we divide 12 by 5
12/5 = 2.4
2) Multiply 2.4 by 15
2.4 x 15 = 36
<em>If you don't like decimals, you can also do it this way...
</em>
This can be rewritten as 15 x 1/5 x 12
Multiplications alone can be performed in any order
1) Work out what 1/5 of 15 is
1/5 of 15
15/5 = 3
2) 3 multiplied by 12
3 x 12 = 36
100 notes were altogether
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that ratio of the number of $2 notes to the number of $5 notes was 4 : 1
number of $2 notes : number of $5 notes = 4 : 1
Let 4x be the number of $ 2 notes
Let 1x be the number of $ 5 notes
Given that total value of notes is $ 260
Therefore,
$ 2 (number of $ 2 notes ) + $ 5(number of $ 5 notes ) = $ 260
$ 2(4x) + $ 5(1x) = $ 260
8x + 5x = 260
13x = 260
x = 20
<em><u>Thus number of notes altogether is given as:</u></em>
4x + 1x = 4(20) + 1(20) = 80 + 20 = 100
Thus 100 notes were altogether
