The grade received on a certain teacher's 100-point test varies in direct proportion to the amount of time a student spends preparing for the test. If a student receives 72 points on a test for which she spent 3 hours preparing, what score would she receive on the next test if she spent 4 hours preparing?

She would receive 96 points

Step-by-step explanation:

The grade (Y) received on a certain teacher's 100-point test varies in direct proportion to the amount of time(t) a student spends preparing for the test.

Mathematically

Y= kt

Where k is constant of proportionality

If y= 72 and t= 3

72=k3

72/3= k

24= k

So

Y= 24t

If t= 4

Y= kt

Y= 24(4)

Y= 96

Y = 96 points

She would receive 96 points
