The variables x and y are directly proportional, and y=4 when x=3 . What is the value of y when x=15 ?

Using the proportionality concept, it is found that the value of y is 20 when x = 15.

-----------------------------------------------

The variables x and y are directly proportional, which means that:

In which c is the constant of proportionality.

-----------------------------------------------

y=4 when x=3

We use this to find the constant, thus:

Thus:

-----------------------------------------------

When x = 15.

The value of y is 20 when x = 15.
