Question

The cost of 6 pounds of oranges is $12.06. What is the constant of proportionality that relates the cost and dollars, y, to the number or pounds of oranges, x?

Answer 1

Answer:

I'm not 100% correct but this is what I believe proportionality is where k=y/x and k is proportionality constant

$6.57: 3 pounds of orange

y dollar: x pounds of orange

so the proportion

$6.57 y

_____ = _____

3 x

6.57×

_____ = y

3

2.19x = y

so k = 2.19
