joy determines the total charge, t, for a bag of p pounds of tomatoes at her produce stand using the equation t = 2.33p. what is the constant of proportionality and what is the price per pound for the tomatoes?

a. k = 0.33; the tomatoes cost $0.33 per pound.
b. k = 2.00; the tomatoes cost $2.00 per pound.
c. k = 2.33; the tomatoes cost $2.33 per pound.
d. k = 4.66; the tomatoes cost $4.66 per pound.

The answer is C. k  = 2.33; he tomatoes cost $2.33 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we have to determine the constant of proportionality of the equation. First we have to identify the variables:

Total charge or price = t

Pounds of tomatoes = p

So the constant of proportionality k is 2.33 because it determines how the total price of a certain number of tomato pounds change. FInally, to calculate the price per pound of tomatoes we have to use the equation a apply it using 1 pound of tomatoes:

So the price of one pound is $2.33.

The answer is C. k  = 2.33; he tomatoes cost $2.33 per pound.

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2

7,24
