Question

A 12 ounce Starbucks latte costs $3.36. What is the constant of proportionality that relates the cost in dollars, y, to the number of ounces, x, in a Starbucks latte?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

Y = X times 0.28

Explanation:

1. You set it up as a proportionality

12/1 and 3.36/x

The x stands for how much money it takes to get 1 ounce

2. You do the old man line.

12 times x = 3.36 times 1

12x = 3.36

3. Now you divide 3.36 by 12

3.36 divided by 12

.28

4. You insert 0.28 into the problem

12 times 0.28 = 3.36

X = 0.28

So 1 ounce costs $0.28

So Y = X times 0.28
