A party rental company has chairs and tables to rent. the total cost to rent 5 chairs and 3 tables is $27. the total cost to rent 2 chairs and 12 tables is $81. what is the cost to rent each chair and table?

3; 9 is 8 to -4

step-by-step explanation:

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
