Answer:
k = 0.28
Step-by-step explanation:
The price of peaches at Al's supermarket can be determined by the equation P = 0.28n ........... (1)
where P is the price and n is the number of pounds of peaches.
Now, it is clear that the price of peaches is proportional to the number of pounds of peaches.
So, we can write,
P ∝ n
⇒ P = kn ............. (2) where k is the constant which we have to multiply to covert from proportionality to equation form.
Now, comparing equations (1) and (2) we get k = 0.28 which is the value of the constant of proportionality. (Answer)
