Question

The price of candy bars can be determined by the equation p= 1.25n, where p is the price and n is the number of candy bars. What is the constant of proportionality (unit rate)

Answer 1

1.25 is the constant of proportionality

Explanation:

Given:

p = 1.25n

Where,

P = price of candy bars

n = number of candy bars.

What is the constant of proportionality (unit rate)?

The constant of proportionality is 1.25

For example, if number of candy bars is 10, find the price

n = 10

p = 1.25n

= 1.25 * 10

= 12.5

P = 12.5
