The constant of proportionality is 1.25 and its meaning is the soup price per can
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram below shows a proportional relationship between the number of cans of soup and the price.
1st:
$3.75 for 3 cans
per can
2nd:
$6.25 for 5 cans
per can
If x is the number of cans and y is the price of x cans, then
This means the constant of proportionality is 1.25 and its meaning is the soup price per can
Rationalize the numerator:

This is continuous at
, so we can evaluate the limit directly by substitution:

The expression which can be used to solve this problem is 5.50h + 1.5h.
Since the given data is 44.5 hour week, all we need to do is substitute the given data to the expression. Since it takes 56 hours a week for a complete office/working hour without overtime, Joel's 44.5 hour week means he did not have overtime hours. Therefore the solution is,
5.50(44.5) = 244.75 Dollars.
The first step to solving this equation is to change the signs on both sides of the equation
y = -

x + 3
Since we don't know what x is but we do know why y is,, we will write our answer with the answer to y and x being left as undefined.
y = -

x + 3, x ∈ R
