Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The constant of proportionality is the ratio between the two proportional variables in a directly proportional relationship. In this case, the variables are 
and 
.
To find the constant of proportionality, all we have to do is divide any value of by its corresponding value of . Let's take the values in the first row of the table. We know that 
and 
, so the constant of proportionality is 
. Hope this helps!
Okay, so let's go over multiplying negative numbers. A positive times a positive is a positive, right? But a negative times a negative is also a positive. Only a negative times a positive (or a positive times a negative) gives you a negative number. So, we know that one of our 2 numbers in this question must be negative; the other must be positive.
Let's now take a look at the factors of -147, starting with the positives. Obviously, -147 and 1 are factors: -147 * 1 = -147. What other factors of -147 are there?
What about 7? Try it: -147 / 7 = -21. So here are two factors: -21, and 7. They multiply to -147. Do they add up to -14? Let's see: -21+7 = 7+(-21) = 7-21= -14. Yup, that works!
Answer: -21 and 7
In each case divide the price by the number of cans.
The best buy is the lowest price.
$12.53/7 = $1.79
$5.97/3 = $1.99
$7.95/5 = $1.59
$8.34/6 = $1.39
The fourth ad, $8.34 for 6 cans results in the lowest price per can, $1.39.
The fourth ad is the best buy.
