The table recommended a amount of food to order for 18 party guest. Amanda and Nathan are hosting a graduation party for 40 guests. They know there will also be guests stopping by who may have come from other parties. For ordering purposes they will count each drop in guest as a half guest. How much of each food item should Amanda and Nathan order for graduation party with 15 drop in guests?

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation

graph of this function as shown below:

48 / 6 = x

in this case, x will equal the amount of money in each card!

x therefore will be 8.

trent had $8 in each birthday card.
