A painter has exactly 32 units of yellow dye and 54 units of green dye. He plans to mix as many gallons as possible of color A and color B. Each gallon of color A requires 4 units of yellow dye and 1 unit of green dye. Each gallon of color B requires 1 unit of yellow dye and 6 units of green dye. Find the maximum number of gallons he can mix.

what is the question here

step-by-step explanation:

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x
