Question

The cost of 4 pounds of bananas is $3.52. What is the constant of proportionality that relates the cost of dollars, y, to the number of pounds of bananas, x?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. $0.88

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of bananas

y = cost of bananas in dollars

Given that 4 bananas cost $3.52, the constant of proportionality that relates cost of bananas, y, to the number of pounds of bananas, x = y/x

y = 3.52

x = 4

Therefore:

Constant of proportionality = $\frac{3.52}{4} = 0.88$.
