Answer:

Option a. Y=3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use cross multiplication method.

Let the cost of 1 magazine be x.

No. of copies                               Cost

1)50                                                $150

2)1                                                      x

50x=150 x 1               equation(1)

x=150/50

x=$3

Now see equation (1),

150=50x

150=50 x 3

Here let us represent the cost as y and no. of copies as x.

Y=3x

Therefore, a. Y=3x is the right answer.

Thank you!
