Question

The cost of a mobile phone processor is directly proportional to its speed.

A 2GHz mobile costs £500.

Let x be the speed of a processor in GHz

Let y be the cost in pounds.

Find a formula linking the variables.

Answer 1

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

We are going to use the formula used in calculating direct proportion which is equal to:

y = kx

where,

x = speed of a processor in GHz

y = the cost in pounds

Therefore, y = kx

500 = 2k

Therefore, y = 2k
