Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that 2 parts of the ratio equals 14 green marbles, then divide to find the value of one part of the ratio.
14 ÷ 2 = 7 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus there are 7 blue marbles
Total marbles = 14 + 7 = 21
Inverse variation is of the form y=k/x (direct variation is of the form y=kx)
We are given that x=2 when y=1 so using the inverse form y=k/x we can solve for the constant of variation...
1=k/2
k=2
so the equation is:
y=2/x now they want us to find y when x=-1 so
y=2/-1
y=-2
With the meal costing $18 and the tip being $15 the total will be $33
