Recipe is for 24 pieces, and required quantity is 16.
So the ratio is 16/24 = 2/3 means we need to reduce all ingredients to 2/3 of the given quantities. Not all recipes can be reduced prorata, but we will assume it can be done. A word of caution: the measurement of quantities will become awkward (like 3/8 of a teaspoon of salt, etc). The practical way is to make the full recipe, and invite friends to take home the remainder.
Here's the scaled recipe
Butter 1cup*3/4 = 3/4 cup
unsweetened chocolate = 4*3/4 = 3 squares
white sugar = 2 * 3/4 = 1 1/2 cups
eggs = 4 * 3/4 = 3 eggs
A.P. flour = 1 cup * 3/4 = 3/4 cups
vanilla extract = 1 * 3/4 = 3/4 teaspoons
salt = 1/2 * 3/4 = 3/8 teaspoons
chopped walnuts = 2 * 3/4 = 1 1/2 cups
For this reason, there is a trend to use weights (in grams) than volumes to make scaling recipes easier.
Given:
The last year sales = $288,000,000
Company increased its sales from last year to this year by 34%.
To find:
The this year's sales to the nearest million dollars.
Solution:
We have,
The last year sales = $288 million
The company increased its sales from last year to this year by 34%. So,
This year's sales 
Therefore, this year's sales were 386 million dollars or $386,000,000.

Answer:
3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Constant of Proportionality is just a fancy way of saying slope (for a line passing through (0, 0), at least).
You can find it by looking at y/x, which will be equal at any point on the line (which is why it is a "constant").
So, for multiple points on the line:
1.5 / 2 = 3/4
3 / 4 = 3/4
4.5 / 6 = 3/4
Answer:
3/4
