The formula for direct
Direct Variation variation is
- a kind of variation y = kx
which one variable is equal
to the constant times the - k is constant of variation - y
other. and x are the variables.

y = kx
y = (2) 10
y = 20
If y varies directly as x.
Find y if k = 2 and x = 10. y = kx
y = (2)x - equation of

The amount of money raised at
the charity fundraiser is
directly proportional to the
number of attendees. The
ASSIGNMENT amount of money raised for 5
attendees was ₱100.00, how
much money will be raised for
60 attendees?
