okay so lets back it up just a lil.
we are soing to set the first eaquation with all the constants in place, expt d= 1

anonymous · Answer

$$\left(\begin{matrix}1Y \ 1T\end{matrix}\right)=KY$$

anonymous · Answer

however the second amount of info says that y triples and T= 10
then we plug it in the equation. 
(3/10)=K*3

anonymous · Answer

inverse operations and yu get 
(3/10)(1/3)=K=.10
