Question

Brandon went to Walmart to buy bananas to make his grandmas famous banana nut bread. He saw that 5 bananas cost 2.95. He calculated that one one banana would cost 0.59. He then wrote the equation y=0.59 to show the proportional relationship between the cost and number of bananas. What is the constant of proportionality

Answer 1

The constant of proportionality is 0.59

Explanation:

5 bananas cost 2.95.

Cost of each banner = 2.95/5

= 0.59

The equation

y=0.59x

Where,

y = cost

x= number of bananas

The constant of proportionality is 0.59

to show the proportional relationship between the cost and number of bananas.
