Answer: Yes

Tc = 3.12m

Therefore, total cost of apple is directly proportional to the total mass with a proportionality constant of 3.12.

Explanation:

The total cost of the apples is proportional to the total mass. The product of the mass and the cost per mass ($3.12) gives the total cost.

It can be shown using the equation below

Tc = c×m

Where Tc = total cost

c = cost per unit mass

m = total mass in kilogram

Tc = 3.12m

Therefore, total cost of apple is directly proportional to the total mass with a proportionality constant of 3.12.
