In the equation \( p = 27s \), the variable \( p \) represents the profit, and \( s \) represents the number of sweaters bought and sold. The constant of proportionality is the coefficient of \( s \) in this equation.
In this case, the constant of proportionality is 27. This means that for each sweater sold, the store makes a profit of $27.
Therefore, the constant of proportionality from the number of sweaters to the total profit is **27 dollars**.
In this case, the constant of proportionality is 27. This means that for each sweater sold, the store makes a profit of $27.
Therefore, the constant of proportionality from the number of sweaters to the total profit is **27 dollars**.

In the equation \( e = 22.5h \), where \( e \) represents the total earnings and \( h \) represents the number of hours worked, the coefficient of \( h \) (which is 22.5) indicates Lamonte's earnings per hour.
Therefore, Lamonte makes **$22.50** per hour.
Therefore, Lamonte makes **$22.50** per hour.

In the equation \( m = 33.2g \), where \( m \) represents the total number of miles driven and \( g \) represents the gallons of gasoline used, the constant of proportionality is the coefficient of \( g \), which is 33.2.
This means that for every gallon of gasoline used, Sofia drives **33.2 miles**.
Therefore, the constant of proportionality between the number of miles driven and the number of gallons used is **33.2 miles per gallon**.
This means that for every gallon of gasoline used, Sofia drives **33.2 miles**.
Therefore, the constant of proportionality between the number of miles driven and the number of gallons used is **33.2 miles per gallon**.
