Answer:
s= number of shirts
3/2= constant of proportionality
Step-by-step explanation:
Josh takes a load of dress shirts to the dry cleaners. The amount he pays for dry cleaning (
f. is given by the equation f=3/2s, where s is the number of shirts. What is the constant of proportionality in terms of the cost per shirt?
Given:
f= 3 / 2s
Where,
f= amount Josh paid for dry cleaning
s= number of shirts
3= constant of proportionality
2= amount paid per shirt
For example, if Josh took 3 shirts to the dry cleaner, the amount Josh will pay is
f= 3 / 2s
= 3 / 2(3)
= 3 / 6
= 1 / 2
f= 1 /2
