Question

"Write an equation to illustrate the relationship between the amount of candy and the cost. (HINT: y=kx)".

Help, please. ​

Answer 1

y = kx where k is cost/piece of candy, x is pieces of candy, and y is the total cost.

Explanation:

Let's start by defining the terms:

Let x be the number of pieces of candy purchased (pieces).

Let k be the cost per piece of candy ($/piece)

Let y be the total cost of the candy purchased.

The total cost, y, will be the number of pieces, x, time the cost per piece, k.

y = kx
