To find the constant of proportionality in dollars per ticket, we first need to determine the cost of one ticket from the set of 3 raffle tickets for $5.00.
-
Calculate the cost per ticket: \[ \text{Cost per ticket} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of tickets}} = \frac{5.00}{3} \]
-
Perform the division: \[ \frac{5.00}{3} \approx 1.66667 \]
-
Round to the nearest cent: \[ 1.66667 \to 1.67 \]
Therefore, the constant of proportionality in dollars per ticket is $1.67.
