What is the constant of variation, k, of the direct variation, y = kx, through (5, 8)? k = -8/5 k= - 5/8 k= 5/8 k= 8/5

ANSWER

The constant of  direct variation is

EXPLANATION

Since the equation goes through the point , it must satidfy its equation.

We therefore, substitute the point , in to the equation and solve for .

This implies that;

Therefore the constant of  direct variation is

Hence the correct answer is D.

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
