Answer:
y = 41.65
Step-by-step explanation:
Given y varies directly as x then the equation relating them is
y = kx ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition y = 49 when x = 40
49 = 40k ( divide both sides by 40 )
[tex]\frac{49}{40}[/tex] = k = 1.225
y = 1.225x ← equation of variation
When x = 34 , then
y = 1.225 × 34 = 41.65
