Question

Determine the constant of Proportionality in the situation below

Answer 1

a constant of proportionality is a number you have to multiply x by to get y.

y=kx is the equation that expresses the proportionality of x and y

in this case, 10 video games cost $145

the question's basically asking what you have to multiply 10 by to get 145

y= 145; x=10

k= y/x = 145/10=14.5

the constant of proportionality is 14.5

Answer 2

The constant of proportionality in the situation is $14.5

A proportion is an equation stating that two ratios are equal. It expresses the relationship between quantities.

There are different types of proportion, the direct and indirect proportion

The constant of proportionality is gotten by relating the two terms together

Ten games cost $145

a game will cost ;

145/10 = $14.5

Therefore the constant of proportionality in the situation is $14.5
