Question

Each month, Stacey places a portion of her earnings in a retirement account. Her savings are invested in two companies. For every $9 invested in company A, $2 is invested in company B. Stacey quizzes her children, Krista and Kevin, about how much money she will invest in company A if she invests $24 in company B.

Answer 1

independent variable,be as X, $9
dependent variable, be as S $2
multiplier of x to get the product Y


(X = 9 and S = 2)
9 = (y) (2)
9 ÷ 2 = y
4.5 = y

( S = 24)
Change S, while Y remains constant
X = (4.5) (24)
ok so whats 4.5 x 24?
