Question

The Spanish club held a car wash to raise money why equals Y=5X represents the amount of money The Y club members made Washing cars identify the constant Proportionality

Answer 1

Given:

The amount of money y club members made for washing x cars is

`y=5x`

To find:

The constant Proportionality.

Solution:

If y is directly proportional to x, then

`y\propto x`

`y=kx` ...(i)

where, k is constant of proportionality.

The amount of money y club members made is proportional to number of cars washing x.

We have,

`y=5x` ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

`k=5`

Therefore, the constant proportionality is 5.
