On a recent day, 8 euros were worth $9 and 25 euros were worth $27. Write an equation of the form y = kx yo show the relationship between the number of euros and the value in dollars.

___________, where y is dollars and X is euros

My answer is $36 = k32. is my answer correct? If not can someone please show me how to solve this problem?

The number 25 should be 24.

K = 27/24 = 9/8 = 1.125.
Eq: Y = kx, or Y = 1.125x.

Your answer is close, but there is a small mistake. Let's go through the steps to correctly solve this problem:

1. We are given two data points:
- 8 euros worth $9
- 25 euros worth $27

2. To find the equation of the form y = kx, where y is the value in dollars and x is the number of euros, we need to determine the constant of proportionality, k.

3. We can start by setting up a system of equations:
- For the first data point: 9 = k * 8 (equation 1)
- For the second data point: 27 = k * 25 (equation 2)

4. To solve this system of equations, we can divide both sides of equation 1 by 8 and equation 2 by 25 to isolate k:
- From equation 1: 9/8 = k
- From equation 2: 27/25 = k

5. Simplifying further, we can express k as a decimal.
- 9/8 = 1.125
- 27/25 = 1.08

6. Since these values are slightly different, we can approximate k to a common value. Let's use 1.125 for k.

7. Now, we can write the final equation in the form y = kx:
- y = 1.125x

So, the correct equation is y = 1.125x, where y represents the dollars and x represents the euros.

Regarding your answer, you wrote $36 = k32. It seems like you calculated $36 by multiplying 1.125 and 32, which is incorrect. The value of k is 1.125, not 36.
