Answer:

y = 550 when x = 2.5

Explanation:

various ways to work this through: one simple way is to do cross method. arrange the numbers into fractions like this and then multiply the ones diagonal from each other


(55)/(0.25) =(y)/(2.5)

then multiply 55*2.5 together. multiply 0.25 and y together. Now you have this:

137.5 = 0.25y

solve for y and you get y = 550
