Question

Seth makes homemade granola bars and sells them at local events. The table shows the price he changes for different quantities of granola bars.

Answer 1

the price is proportional and the constant proportionality is 1.50.

Explanation:

its is proportional because the number of granola bars and price are the same if you add 1.50 each time. Have a good day!

Answer 2

The price per granola bar is the same for each quantity purchased, so the relationship is proportional.

The constant of proportionality is 1.5.

Explanation:

Step 1:

For the given problem, the price is y and the number of granola bars is x.

To determine the constant of proportionality, we divide the value of y with the value of x.

If all the values of constant of proportionality are the same, it is a proportional relationship.

Step 2:

Assume the constant of proportionality is k.

For 2 granola bars, k
`=(3)/(2) = 1.5.`

For 4 granola bars, k
`=(6)/(4) = 1.5.`

For 6 granola bars, k
`=(9)/(6) = 1.5.`

For 8 granola bars, k
`=(12)/(8) = 1.5.`

As all the values of k are the same, it is a proportional relationship and the constant of proportionality is 1.5.
