Answer:
D) 45 and 1.2
Step-by-step explanation:
The "varies inversely" relationship is described by the equation ...
y = k/x . . . . . . y varies inversely with x (and vice versa)
The value of k can be found from known values of x and y:
xy = k . . . . . . multiply the above equation by x
(10)(6) = k = 60 . . . . using the given values
__
To check if a given pair of numbers satisfies ...
y = 60/x
you can multiply them together to see if the product is 60.
(A) 12×5 = 60
(B) 15×4 = 60
(C) 25×2.4 = 60
(D) 45×1.2 = 54 . . . . . not a possible pair of corresponding values.
45 and 1.2 are not a possible solution for x and y.
Answer:
The % increase is 7.179 but see the remark I made below. What I have given and what it could be is a rounding error. Less than 2 dollars error is not much when you are calculating something for someone just to show them how to do it.
Step-by-step explanation:
242,555 * x/100 = 259,970 Multiply by 100
242,555 * x = 259970 * 100
242,555 * x = 25997000 Divide by 242555
x = 24997000/242444
x = 107.179
That's the total increase.
What you want is 7.179%
If you take 7.179% of 242,555 and add it onto 242555 you should get 259,970
7.1797/100 * 242555 = 17413.02
17413.02 + 242555 = 259968.02
Why isn't it exact. I'm out just about 2 whole dollars. The reason is that the % isn't exact. It's only out to 3 decimal places which apparently is not enough. You can go over my numbers if you want more exactness us use something that is rounded to 7.180 if you like.
