Question

The cost of 4 pounds of bananas is $3.52. What is the constant of proportionality that relates the cost of dollars, y, to the number of pounds of bananas, x?

Answer 1

B. $0.88

Explanation:

x = number of bananas

y = cost of bananas in dollars

Given that 4 bananas cost $3.52, the constant of proportionality that relates cost of bananas, y, to the number of pounds of bananas, x = y/x

y = 3.52

x = 4

Therefore:

Constant of proportionality =
`(3.52)/(4) = 0.88`.
