PLZ HELP I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT Parker needs to buy bouquets for table centerpieces. Her client has a budget of $250. If the bouquets cost $14.95 each, which direct variation equation can you use to determine the number of flower bouquets Parker can purchase?
A. x=14.95y
B. y=250x
C.250=14.95x
D. y=250(14.95)

C

Step-by-step explanation:

as stated by the questions, the client has a budget of $250, which means we can't exceed $250. This will be our y (dependent variable, as the cost for y depends on how many bouquets we will purchase).

the bouquets cost 14.95 each, so if we have x bouquets , that means that the cost will be 14.95x (independent variable, as this gives the value of y).

therefore, the equation is 250=14.95x, which is C

but let's do process of eliminiation to double check:

if we look at the options, B and D are out (the cost of the bouquets isn't $250 each and also we can't have 250 bouquets , that would be too expensive for the client).

that leaves A and C

A isn't the correct answer. At first glance, it looks like we just switched x and y around. However, it cannot work because x is always the independent variable while y is the dependent variable (the value of y depends on the value of x, while the value of x doesn't depend on y).

Also, there's no mention of the $250 budget in A

by process of elimination and by the explanation above C is the correct answer.

Hope this helps!

ab will be equal to

at least two
