Answer:

a. 2400

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving this type of problem, its important to solve the constant (k) of the variation first.

p = kqr²

Given:

  • p = 225 when q = 4 and r = 3.

Substitute the value of the variables.

225 = k(4)(3²)

225 = 4k(9)

225 = 36k

k = 225/36 = 6.25

Now lets find p when q = 6 and r = 8

p = (6.25)(6)(8²)

p = (37.5)(64)

p = 2,400

Therefore the correct answer is a. 2,400
