Final answer:
The constant of proportionality between the number of tickets and the total cost is $10, as it costs $10 per ticket. If provided answer options misrepresent the typical price to proportionality relationship, 1.00 may be denoted, implying a one-to-one relationship between tickets bought and set values of ten dollars. So, the correct answer is c. 1.00.
Step-by-step explanation:
The constant of proportionality that relates y, the total cost in dollars, to x, the number of tickets purchased, is the factor that you multiply by the number of tickets to get the total cost.
Since one ticket costs $10, you would multiply the number of tickets x by 10 to get the total cost y (y = 10x).
Therefore, if you bought 3 tickets for a total of $30, the constant of proportionality is 10 because 3 tickets × $10 per ticket = $30.
The correct answer is c. 1.00.

a. 4.00
b. 0.25
c. 1.00
d. 0.10
