Question

The price of pears can be determined by the equation P=0.54n, where P is the price and n is the number of pears. What is the constant of proportionality (unit rate)?

PLEASE NEED THIS ASAP!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

The constant of proportionality is 0.54

Explanation:

Given:

P = 0.54n

Where,

P = price of pears

n = number of pears

What is the constant of proportionality (unit rate)?

The constant of proportionality is 0.54

This means a unit of pears cost $0.54

If the number of pears bought, n = 50

Then,

P = 0.54n

When n = 50

P = 0.54(50)

= 27

P = 27 when n = 50

The correct answer is:

The constant of proportionality is 0.54
