The measurement, y, varies directly with regard to another value, x. If y = 9 and x = 24, find x for y = 25. 9.4 50 66.7

The correct answer is C. 66.7

Step-by-step explanation:

1. y varies directly with regard to x

y = 9 and x = 24

If y = 25, what is the value of x?

2. For finding that value of x, first of all, we should understand what happened to y.

If y moves from 9 to 25 it means that y has been multiplied by 2.77, using this simple division

25/9 = 2.777

3. And we should use that same number or value to calculate the new value of x

If x was 24, now the new value of x is 24 * 2.777

24 * 2.777 = 66. 67 or 66.7 (rounding to just one decimal)

The correct answer is C. 66.7
