Corey deposited $1,500 in a savings account that earns simple interest at 5.75%. what is the balance in his account at the beginning of the third quarter?

the answer is  

a.

28 ft2

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
