A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form or

Let

y-------> the interest earned on an account

x------>  the balance in the account

step 1

Find the constant k of proportionality

For

substitute the values

The equation is

step 2

Find the amount of interest earned on an account with a balance of $500

so

For   substitute in the equation and solve for y

step-by-step explanation:

2/4 is the answer

step-by-step explanation:

x= total pieces

both ate 9 pieces
