When y varies inversely as x:
[tex]y=\frac{k}{x}[/tex]
y= 41 when x=28; uses the given data to find k:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 41=\frac{k}{28} \\ \\ k=41*28 \\ \\ k=1148 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Use the next formula to the given variation:
[tex]y=\frac{1148}{x}[/tex]
Find y if x=27:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=\frac{1148}{27} \\ \\ y=42.52 \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer: y=42.52
