Q. 3. The value of y varies directly with x, and when x=41,y=25. What is the value of y when x is 231 ?A. 23331B. 931C. 1421D. 21341
Identify Relationship: Identify the direct variation relationship between y and x. Given y=25 when x=41, find the constant of variation k. Use the formula y=kx.Calculation: 25=k×(41)Solving for k gives k=25×4=100.
Find Constant of Variation: Use the constant of variation k to find y when x=32(1). Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.Calculation: 2(31)=37.Now, y=100×(37)=3700=233(31).
