Question

Suppose you & your friends are going to the movies.The amount of money you spend for tickets varies directly with the number of people buying tickets.If you spend $48 for six tickets ,What is the constant of variation?

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

Answer 2

This is the equation you need to use: y = kx
So, let's put it this way:
y can be the total amount of money you spend (so $48), and x the number of people (6)

y=kx
48=k*6
k = 48/6
k = 8

The constant variation, and the price of one ticket is 8.
