Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that x and y are proportional and the equation relating them is
y = rx ← r is the constant of proportionality
To find r use any ordered pair from the table
Using x = 9, y = 4.5 , then
4.5 = 9r ( divide both sides by 9 )
= r , that is
r =
Answer:
Number of people employed this year = 373
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of employees this year = x
These employees were decreased by 4% then the remaining number of employees this year = x - (4% of x)

= 0.96x
If last year number of people employed were 389 then the number of people employed this year = 0.96×389
= 373.44
When rounded to whole number, number of people employed this year = 373.
