Tyrone likes to snack on his big bag of candy. He takes 8 pieces of candy from the bag each time he snacks. After eating 18 snacks, there are only 6 pieces of candy remaining in the bag.
The number c of pieces of candy remaining in the bag is a function of s, the number of snacks Tyrone eats.

Solution:

Given that,

Tyrone takes 8 pieces of candy from the bag each time he snacks

After eating 18 snacks, there are only 6 pieces of candy remaining in the bag

The number c of pieces of candy remaining in the bag is a function of s, the number of snacks Tyrone eats.

Therefore,

"c" is the number of pieces of candy remaining in the bag

"s" is the number of snacks Tyrone eats

Thus,

total number of candy in the bag =

Remaining candy in the bag = Total candy - candy he ate

c = 150 - 8s

Thus the function is found

answer: b

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
