Enter variation details below:

 when 
<-- Given

b varies directly as a, and b = 78

when a = 13, solve for b when a = 23

varies directly as

varies directly as means
b = ka where k is a constant

ak = b

Plugging in b = 78 when a = 13

78 = 13k

Divide each side by 13

13k
13
=
  
78
13

Cancel the 13 on the left side

13k
13
=
  
78
13

Plug in k = 6

b = 6a

We were given that a = 23

b = 6(23)

b = 138

What is the Answer?
b = 138
