Bernice paid $192 in interest on a loan she took out at a rate of 6% for a period of one year. How much did she borrow?

the answer is 11.52

Step-by-step explanation:

6% of 192

so you multiply the numerators which are 6 and 192

6 times 192/100

1152/100

the answer is 11.52

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
