Question

Blaine buys 2 books and the total cost is $24.18. What is the constant of proportionality that relates the cost in dollars, y, to the number of books, x?

Answer 1

Answer:

$ 12.09

Step-by-step explanation:

formula Y = KX

Where; y = $ 24.18

            x = 2 books

            k = constant of proportionality

Step 1. Do the equation based on the formula

Y = kx

$24.18 = k2

Step 2.  Divide by 2

$24.18/2 = k2/2

k = $12.09 (answer)
