Kara bought an energy efficient washing machine in which the water saved varies directly with the number of loads washed. If she washes 3 loads, she saves 15 gallons of water. If she saves 120 gallons of water, how many loads did she wash?

answer   download the app called socratic on your phoner:

step-by-step explanation:

answer: 42

use a calculator to find that 845/73 = 11.575

the whole part of the answer is 11. multiply this by 73 to get 11*73 = 803.

subtract that result from 845 to get 845 - 803 = 42

i think the answer is b

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x
