Zoe runs a market in the city of Manila. Half of the canned drinks in stock were sold out. Zoe bought 68 more canned drinks to restock her supply. If there is a total of 200 cans now, how many canned drinks were in stock initially?

264 canned drinks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

canned drinks in stock initially = x

Canned drinks sold out = 1/2 of x

= 1/2x

Canned drinks remaining in stock = x - 1/2x

= 1/2x

New restock = 68 canned drinks

Total drinks in stock presently = Canned drinks remaining in stock + New restock

200 = 1/2x + 68

200 - 68 = 1/2x

132 = 1/2x

x = 132 ÷ 1/2

= 132 × 2/1

x = 264 canned drinks

canned drinks in stock initially = x = 264 canned drinks

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation

it depends on the weather. because i have flown to seattle when it was pouring down rain and there was one time i flew to ohio when it was snowing hard. whats your situation.
