we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form

y=kx

where

k is the constant of proportionality

step 1

Find the value of k

we have that

For x=75 y=15

substitute the given values

15=k(75)

solve for k

k=15/75

simplify

k=1/5

step 2

Find the value of y when the value of x=30

we have the equation

y=kx

substitute the value of k

y=(1/5)x

For x=30

y=(1/5)30

y=6
