Lax varies directly with y. when x=32,y=8. if y=44, what does x equal?

X varies directly with y means x=ky

k is the constant of variation

given when x=32 and y=8
32=8k
divide by 8
4=k

so
x=4y

when y=44

x=4(44)
x=176

x=176 when y=44

The answer would be 27 because assuming that each package has 1 bar of soap and 1 tube of toothpaste, after 27 packages they would run out of toothpaste
