Hxani:

1. The amount of money raised at a charity fundraiser is directly proportional to the number of attendees. The amount of money raised for five attendees was $100. a. Write a direct variation equation for the amount raised at the charity event.

Hero:

Direct variation \(y = kx\) \(y\) represents amount of money raised \(x\) represents number of attendees Input the values of \(x\) and \(y\) then solve for \(k\)

Hxani:

Thank you.

Hero:

Write the correct answer here to make sure you have it.

Hxani:

100=5x?

Hero:

Not quite. You're trying to find the value of \(k\). Look back at what \(x\) represents.

Hxani:

oh... x=5 y=100

Hero:

Correct. Post the correct answer here when you find it.

Hxani:

So then.. 100=20x The x would be 5

Hero:

You only need to put the k in the equation for the final form.

Hxani:

Ohhh okayy

Hero:

Which is ...?

Hero:

What is the final form of \(y = kx\) after adding the value of \(k\)?

Hxani:

;-; uhm

Hero:

Are you really that stumped? It's not that difficult. All you do is just plug in \(k\)

Hxani:
