If the tip varies directly with the number of guest, which equation represents the relationshipbbetween the tip, t,and the number ofbguest

If the tip, t, varies directly with the number of guests, g, then it means that any change in tip there is a corresponding change in the number of guests. When the tip increases the number of guests increases as well. Therefore,

t α g

To change the it to equal sign, we incorporate a proportionality constant, k.

t = kg

This equation will represent the relation of t to g.

The only number less than 8 that can equal 12 would be 6, 36 is the dividend
