Answer:

Option C = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

In principle when a function <em>f(x) </em>varies directly with <em>x</em> it suggests that any changes in x results in the equivalent changes in<em> f(x)</em>. If we have two variables, i.e. <em>y</em> representing<em> f(x)</em> and <em>x</em> representing itself, any increment/decrement in <em>x</em> will result to the same increment/decrement in <em>y</em> by a factor <em>a, thus we can say that y = ax, implying y and x have the same ratio. </em>

In the given question we know that <em>f(x) = 45</em> when x=9<em>, </em>which translates as

f(x=9) = 45

This tells us that f(x) varies by a factor (lets call it) a for a given value of x.

To find this factor we can just divide 45 with 9 which gives: \frac{45}{9} = 5

Thus the factor a here is a=5 which finally tells us that

f(x) = 5x    Eqn (1) our original function.

Since we now know our function we can plug in the value for x=3 and solve for f(x=3) as follow:

f(x=3)= 5*3

f(x=3) = 15

f(3) = 15

Looking at the given options in the question we can conclude that the correct answer is Option C = 15

Caroline and Sarah win some money and share it in the ratio 2:1. Caroline gets £45 more than Sarah. How much did Sarah get?
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio of 2:1....total of 3....so caroline gets 2/3 of the money and sarah gets 1/3 of the money. Let the total amount of money be x.

so caroline = 2/3x and sarah = 1/3x

caroline gets 45 more then sarah

2/3x = 1/3x + 45

2/3x - 1/3x = 45

1/3x = 45

x = 45 * 3

x = 135.....so the total money is $ 135

caroline gets 2/3 of it.......2/3(135) = 270/3 = $ 90

sarah gets 1/3 of it......1/3(135) = 135/3 = $ 45 <===
