The other tutor goes to a lot of unnecessary work to get a decimal approximation of the answer.
From the given set of data to the new one, the value of z does not change, so the only change in the value of y is due to the change in the value of x.
y varies directly as x, so when the value of x changes by a factor of 3/114 = 1/38 the value of y changes by a factor of 1/38.
ANSWER: 32(1/38) = 32/38 = 16/19
Convert that to a decimal approximation if required or desired... but the answer in fraction form is exact.

You were then given some values to find what is k value.
