Question

On a recent day, 8 euros were worth $11 and 40 euros were worth $55. Enter an equation of the form y = kx to show the relationship between the number of euros and the value in dollars. Let y be the value in dollars and x be the number of euros.

The equation is y =

Answer 1

I got the answer:

1.125

Answer 2

Am I correct?

Answer 3

I don’t think so

If x represents euros and y represents dollars

And 8 euros = 11 dollars

Then y = kx becomes 11 = 8k, solve for k

Answer 4

I don't understand?

Answer 5

They give you the equation y = kx

They tell you x = euros and y = dollars

So if 8 euros = 11 dollars then x = 8 and y = 11

Plugging them into the equation gives us 11 = 8k

Solve for k

Answer 6

1.375x?

Answer 7

Yup, k = 1.375 so y = 1.375x is your equation
