Suppose y varies directly with x. If y = –4 when x = 8, what is the equation of direct variation? Complete the steps to write the equation of direct variation.

Start with the equation of direct variation y = kx.
Substitute in the given values for x and y to get
.
Solve for k to get
.
Write the direct variation equation with the value found for k. The equation is
.

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal
