<PRE><B>Question 324275</B>
N = Pk

We need to find k (the constant of proportionality) as step one.

18,088 = 56k

18,088/56 = k

323 = k

================================================================

We now let k = 323 and P =  1,965,000. We need to find N in the equation
N = Pk

N = (1,965,000)(323)

N = 634,695,000

Did you follow?

This is a direct variation word problem.</PRE>
