in an equation y varies directly as x varies. if y = 55 when x = 22, what is the value of x when y = 85?

x=34

Step-by-step explanation:

If you put Y and X into a ratio then it will be

5:2

because since their GCF is 11, then we will have to divide both of the numbers by 11.

If y=85 then that means that it was multiplied by 17. If we want them to stay within the same ratio, then we will have to multiply X (2) by 17.

That will get you 34.

a) 0.25x times 3. (could be wrong on equation.)

b) 2.25 pound of dark chocolate. (can i eat all the chocolate? plz? anyway, again, could be wrong, but i hope im right. all the chocolate together should be 5.25 pounds)

have a good day!
