Question

For every $5 that Micah saves, his parents give him $10.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer for the question "What is the constant of proportionality?" is 2.

The answer for the question "If Micah saves $150, How much money will his parents give him?" is $300.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. If for every $5, Micah will receive $10 more that means that he will receive the double of his initial saving. So, a number that multiplied by 5 is equal to 10 is 2. Therefore, the proportionality equation will be Y=2X, where Y is 10 and X is 5. In cunclusion, 2 is the constant of proportionality.

b. Having in mind that the equation is Y=2X, and that X is equal to Micah's savings, we need to replace that X with 150. Then, 150 is multiplied by 2 and the result is Y, in this case 300. So, Micah's parents will give him $300 if he saves $150.
