Question

The Spanish club held a car wash to raise money why equals Y=5X represents the amount of money The Y club members made Washing cars identify the constant Proportionality

Answer 1

Given:

The amount of money y club members made for washing x cars is

$y=5x$

To find:

The constant Proportionality.

Solution:

If y is directly proportional to x, then

$y\propto x$

$y=kx$        ...(i)

where, k  is constant of proportionality.

The amount of money y club members made is proportional to number of  cars washing x.

We have,

$y=5x$        ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

$k=5$

Therefore, the constant proportionality  is 5.
