a) $0.83

b) k = 1.205

c) In the context of this problem, k means

The number of chocolate chip cookies increases as the price increases because number of chocolate chip cookie is directly proportional to its price

Step-by-step explanation:

Sara has opened her own bakery, where customers can buy three chocolate chip cookies for $2.49.

a. What is the unit price?

The unit price means the cost of 1 cookie

Hence:

3 chocolate chip cookies = $2.49

1 chocolate chip cookies = x

3x = $2.49 × 1

x = $2.49 × 1/3

x = $0.83

Hence, the unit price = $0.83

b. What is the constant of proportionality, or k?

Chocolate chip cookie ∝ Price

Chocolate chip cookie is directly proportional to the Price

C = kP

Where k is constant of proportionality

k = Chocolate chip cookie/Price

k = C/P

Hence,

k = 3/2.49

k = 1.2048192771

k = 1.205

c. In a complete sentence, explain what k means in the context of this problem.

In the context of this problem, k means

The number of chocolate chip cookies increases as the price increases because number of chocolate chip cookie is directly proportional to its price

i'm not sure i quite understand, could you provide more information?

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
