If a varies directly as b, and a = 28 when b = 7, find b when a = 5.
Reika [66]

Answer: Option B.

b=\frac{5}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

If a varies directly with b then when a increases b it also increases by a factor k.

Then we can write that

a = kb

We know that when a = 28 then b = 7. So

28 = k * 7

k=\frac{28}{7}

k=4

Therefore the equation of proportionality is:

a=4b

So when a=5  then:

5=4b\\\\b=\frac{5}{4}

There are 9 more pencils then pens in a container. There are 25 writing utensils in the container in all. How many pens are ther
VashaNatasha [74]
In order to determine the number of pens present in the container, we need to set up equations from the given in the problem statement. We do as follows:

let x the number of pencils
    y the number of pens

From the statement, 9 more pencils then pens in a container,

x = y + 9

From the statement, there are 25 writing utensils in the container in all,

x + y = 25

We use substitution method to calculate for x and y,

y + 9 + y = 25
2y = 16
y = 8
x = 17

Therefore, there are 8 pens in the container and 17 pencils.

The simple interest formula is I = Prt, where I represents simple interest on an amount, P, for t years at a rate of r, where r
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

$80

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are given The simple interest formula as I = Prt,

where l = simple interest on an amount= $40

t= years=5years

at a rate r= 10%

The rate= 10/100= 0.1

Then since we are looking for P, we can make P subject of formula from this expression;

I = Prt

P=I/rt

P= 40/(0.1 ×5)

P= 40/0.5

P= 80

therefore, the amount of money p that is needed is $80
