For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

x: amount of weight in pounds

y: total cost of bananas.

The equation that models the problem is:

[tex] y = 0.59x
[/tex]

We observe that the relationship is linear. Therefore, the variables are proportional.

The proportionality constant is:

[tex] k = 0.59
[/tex]

Answer:

the constant of proportionality is:

[tex] k = 0.59
[/tex]
