The constant of proportionality in terms of the cost per text is the coefficient of
t in the equation
b=0.25t. Since the coefficient of
t is 0.25, the constant of proportionality in terms of the cost per text is 0.25.
Proportionality constants are usually expressed as fractions, so lets convert 0.25 to a fraction. To do that we are going to add the denominator 1 to our decimal, and then we will multiply both numerator and denominator by ten for every number after the decimal point:

(0.25)/(1)

(0.25)/(1) . (100)/(100) = (75)/(100)
Finally, we can simplify our fraction:

(25)/(100) = (1)/(4)

We can conclude that the constant of proportionality in text of the cost per text is 1/4
