Asmall pie factory needs to ship 360 pies a day to stay profitable. 180 pies are baked every 3 hours. of the baked pies, 20% go directly to freezer storage and 80% are loaded on a truck for delivery. find the constant of proportionality for the number of pies baked and loaded on a truck for delivery. a.48 b. 60 c. 96 d. 144

Constant of proportionality should be 48.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a small pie factory needs to ship 360 pies a day to stay profitable. 180 pies are baked every 3 hours. Of the baked pies, 20% go directly to freezer storage and 80% are loaded on a truck for delivery.

Now we need to find about what is the constant of proportionality for the number of pies baked and loaded on a truck for delivery.

Number of baked pies = 180

Number of pies loaded on truck for delivery = 80% of baked pies

= 0.80(180)= 144 in 3 hours.

So number of pies loaded per hour = 144/3= 48

Hence constant of proportionality should be 48.
