The monthly cost of a short term disability insurance policy varies directly as the salary of the employee. Wanda has an annual salary of $38,500, and the monthly cost for her policy is $11.55. Randy has an annual salary of $49,500. What should Randy expect to pay for his policy?

$14.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Ww can solve the question using direct proportion with the formula y = kx

where y = annual salary

x = monthly policy cost.

k = constant of proportionality

Since y = kx

38500 = 11.55k

k = 38500 / 11.55

k = $3333.33

When Randy has an annual salary of $49,500, the amount Randy expect to pay for his policy will be:

y = kx

49500 = 3333.33x

x = 49500 / 3333.33

x = 14.85

The amount that Randy expect to pay for his policy will be $14.85
