The value of y is 3 when x is 6.
Solution:
The given table is the amount of cheese in ounces and the cost price.
Let x represents the amount of cheese and y represents the cost price.
The formula which derived from the table is y = x ÷ 2.
That is [tex]$y=\frac{x}{2}[/tex].
To find the value of y when x is 6:
[tex]$y=\frac{x}{2}[/tex]
Substitute x = 6 in the formula, we get
[tex]$y=\frac{6}{2}[/tex]
y = 3
Hence the value of y is 3 when x is 6.
