Answer: The constant of variation is $3
Step-by-step explanation: With $3 you can buy:
1 kg of the $3 candy.
1.5 kg of the $2 candy.
2kg of the $1.5 candy
3kg of the $1 candy
6kg of the $0.5 candy.
The rate of variation is:
amount of candy = amount of money/price of the candy
In this case, the amount of money is $3 fixed, so the relation is:
Amount of candy = $3/price of the candy
then the constant of variation is $3
