A gym employee is paid monthly. After working for three months, he had earned $4,500. To determine how much money he will make over a six-month period, he created the table below.

1: If he continues to earn at the same rate, how much will he have earned after working 5 months?
2: After how many months will the gym employee have made $19,500?
3: Write an equation to represent the constant of proportionality.

After 5 months, he would’ve earned 7500
After 13 months because 1 month would be 1500 and times 13 19500.
1500 times x

Answer: %7,500 , the constant of proportionality would be 1500m (m=one month)

Step-by-step explanation: At this rate, by the time he gets to 6 months he will have made $9,000. Divide this by six to get $1,500 (the unit rate for 1 month). Multiply $1,500 by 5 to get your answer. hope this helps

(NOT SURE ON THE CONSTANT PROPORTIONALITY THING!!!)
