think about the doctor who treated the major and the speaker in the short story "in another country." put yourself in the shoes of the doctor, and based on what you read in the story, write what you think his thoughts about the major and the speaker would be. use the following vocabulary in your response and change the form of these words as needed: detached resign withered

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x
