Question

Two variables, n and k, are related such that for each increase of 1 in the value of n, the value of k increases by 80%. When n=1,k=135. Which equation represents this relationship? A

Answer 1

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that represents the relationship between variables n and k, where for each increase of 1 in the value of n, the value of k increases by 80%, can be written as:

\[ k = 135 + (0.8 \cdot n) \]

In this equation, 135 represents the initial value of k when n is 1. The term (0.8 * n) represents the increase in k for each increase of 1 in the value of n. By multiplying the value of n by 0.8, we account for the 80% increase in k.

So, for any given value of n, we can use this equation to calculate the corresponding value of k in the relationship described.
