Answer:
$0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
formula ; y = kx
where ; y = $1.5
x = 3 pounds of bananas
k = constant of proportionality
Step 1. Do the equation based on the data given
y = kx
$1.5 = k3
Step 2. Compute the mathematical equation. Divide both sides by the coefficient of 3.
$1.5 = k3
3 3
k = .5
Answer; $0.5 is the constant of proportionality cost in dollars per pound of banana.
