Organic apples are on special for $1.50 per pound. does total cost vary inversely or directly with the number of pounds purchased? find the cost of 3.4 pounds of apples. a. inversely: $5.10 b. directly; $5.10 c. inversely: $2.27 d. directly; $2.27

Data from 2005 for various age groups show that for each $100 increase in the median weekly income for whites, the median weekly income of blacks increases by $105. also, for workers of ages 25 to 54 the median weekly income for whites was $676 and for blacks was $527. (a) let w represent the median weekly income for whites and b the median weekly income for blacks, and write the equation of the line that gives b as a linear function of w. b = (b) when the median weekly income for whites is $760, what does the equation in (a) predict for the median weekly income for blacks?
