#y=350#

Explanation:

#"the initial statement is "yproppq#

#"to convert to an equation multiply by k the constant"#
#"of variation"#

#rArry=kpq#

#"to find k use the given condition"#

#"when "p=3" and "q=3,y=90#

#y=kpqrArrk=y/(pq)=90/(3xx3)=10#

#"equation is " color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=10pq)color(white)(2/2)|)))#

#"when "p=7" and "q=5#

#rArry=10xx7xx5=350#
