Answer:
[tex]x = 112.5....... \: i.e \: option \: b.[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]first \: you \: need \: to \: write \: the \: statement \: \\ as \: a \: mathematical\: \: expession \: i.e : \\ if \: y \: \alpha \: x \\ y \: = kx \\ k = \frac{y}{x} \\ when \: y \: = 12.5 \: and \: x \: = \: 37.5 \: then : \\ k = \frac{12.5}{37.5} \\ \\ x = \frac{y}{k} = \frac{y}{ \frac{12.5}{37.5} } = \frac{y}{1} \div \frac{12.5}{37.5} = \frac{y}{1} \times \frac{37.5}{12.5} \\ \\ x = \frac{37.5y}{12.5} \\ \\ when \: y = 37.5 \: x \: will \: be : \\ x = \frac{37.5 \times 37.5}{12.5} = 112.5[/tex]
