Question

Georgina buys several packs

of beads. The equation y = 1.50x represents
her total cost y if she buys x packs of beads.
If the data are graphed, what is the value of x
in (x, 16.50)? PO

Answer 1

`\boxed {y = 1.5x} \\ 16.5 = 1.5x \\ x = (16.5)/(1.5) \\ \boxed {x = 11}`

Value of x is 11.

11 is the right answer.

Answer 2

• x = 11

Explanation:

The equation is:

• y = 1.50x

When y = 16.50, we can find x as:

• 16.50 = 1.50x
• x = 16.50/1.50
• x = 11
