Your medical practice needs to order 200 syringes. At a medical supply store, they charge $0.79 for each syringe. The same syringes from an online distributer cost $0.72 each plus $10.95 for shipping and handling. What would be the lowest cost to get 200 syringes?

the cost would be lower if you buy from the online distributor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your medical practice requires you to buy 200 syringes.

At the medical supply store, they charge $0.79 for each syringe. This means that the amount you would spend if you buy the syringes from the medical store is

0.79 × 200 = $158

The same syringes from an online distributor cost $0.72 each plus $10.95 for shipping and handling. This means that the total cost of buying 200 syringes from the online distributor is

(0.72 × 200) + 10.95

= $154.95

Therefore, the cost would be lower if you buy from the online distributor.

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3
