Answer:
A, B and C
Step-by-step explanation:
In the equation: 3y=27x
Making y the subject of the equation, we have:
The constant of proportionality between y and x is 9.
We want to determine which relationships have the same constant of proportionality 9.
<u>Option A</u>
y=9x
The constant of proportionality is 9.
<u>Option B</u>
2y=18x
Divide both sides by 2 to obtain: y=9x
The constant of proportionality is 9.
<u>Option C</u>
x=3, y=1/3
Substitution into y=kx gives:
1/3=3k
k=9
The constant of proportionality is 9.
<u>Option D</u>
x=6, y=2/3
Substitution into y=kx gives:
2/3=6k
k=2/3*6=4
The constant of proportionality is 4.
<u>Option E</u>
When x=2, y=18
Substitution into y=kx gives:
18=2k
k=9
However, when x=4, y=27
Substitution into y=kx gives:
27=4k
k=6.75
This is not a proportional relation since the constant of proportionality is not equal.
The correct options are A, B and C
Answer: 90% decrease
Step-by-step explanation: First determine whether the number is increasing or decreasing. Since it changes from 2,000 to 200, it's going down so it's decreasing.
Now to find the percent decrease, we divide the
amount of change by the original number.
The <em>amount of change</em> is the difference between the two numbers
which in this case is 2,000 - 200 and the original number is 2,000.
.
2,000 - 200 is 1,800.
So we're left with 1,800/2,000 and dividing
2,000 into 1,800 gives us 0.9.
Remember however that our problem is
asking for a <em>percent</em>, not a decimal.
So we need to write 0.9 as a percent and we can do
that by multiplying it by 100 and adding the percent sign.
So 0.9 becomes 90%.
So when a number changes from 2,000 to 200,
it has decreased by 90%.
