Q:
y and x have a proportional relationship, and y = 25 when x = 60. What is the value of x when y = 30? 25, 36, 50, 72
Accepted Solution
A:
Find the proportional relationship in a unit rate.
x:y
Put in x and y.
60:25
Divide both sides by 5.
12:5
So, every 5 units of y, there are 12 units of x.
Put the new y into proportion.
x:30
There are 5 extra units of y.
All you need to do is add 12 to the previous x.
60+12= 72
x=72
I hope this helps!
