Question

10. The cost of 2 pounds of chocolate almonds is $9.68. What is the constant of proportionality that relates the cost in dollars, t, to the number of pounds of chocolate almonds, x? A. 9.68 B. 2 C. 4.84 D. Not here

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write an equation where t is the cost in dollars and x is the numbers of pounds of chocolate almonds:

`t=kx`

k is the constant of proportionality we're looking for. We can find it by replacing with the given information: t = 9.68, x = 2 and solving for k:

`\begin{gathered} 9.68=k\cdot2 \\ k=(9.68)/(2)=4.84 \end{gathered}`

Answer:

C. 4.84
