11

Explanation:

When a question tells you that two different numbers vary inversely, you're bound to use the following relationship:

#y = k/x#

Plugging in for y and x, you get the following value for k:

#1,485 = k/0.2#, #k = 297#

Using the same relationship once more, we can find y when #x = 27#:

#y = 297 / 27 = 11#

You can use this principle to find any other inverse relationships for future problems.
