You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can write the proportion: (A = Advertising costs and R = Revenue)
\n" ); document.write( "\"R+=+kA\" Revenue is directly proportional to Advertising costs. Find the value of k, the constant of proportionality when R = $120,000 and A = $2,000
\n" ); document.write( "\"120000+=+k%282000%29\" Divide both sides by 2000
\n" ); document.write( "\"k+=+60\". so:
\n" ); document.write( "\"R+=+60A\" Solve for A when R = $180,000
\n" ); document.write( "\"180000+=+60A\" Divide both sides by 60.
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+3000\"
\n" ); document.write( "$3,000 was spent on Advertising to produce $180,000 in revenue.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
