The value of y is directly proportional to the value of x. If y = 35 when x = 140, what is the value of y when x = 100?​

Sagot :

[tex]\stackrel{\textit{"y" is directly proportional to "x"}}{y=kx}\qquad \textit{we also know that} \begin{cases} y = 35\\ x = 140 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 35=k140\implies \cfrac{35}{140}=k\implies \cfrac{1}{4}=k~\hfill \boxed{y=\cfrac{1}{4}x} \\\\\\ \textit{when x = 100, what is "y"?}\qquad y = \cfrac{1}{4}(100)\implies y = 25[/tex]
