Greg's soccer team is selling sets of 3 raffle tickets for $5.00. What is the constant of proportionality in dollars per ticket, to the nearest cent?

1 answer

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.

  1. Calculate the cost per ticket: \[ \text{Cost per ticket} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of tickets}} = \frac{5.00}{3} \]

  2. Perform the division: \[ \frac{5.00}{3} \approx 1.66667 \]

  3. Round to the nearest cent: \[ 1.66667 \to 1.67 \]

Therefore, the constant of proportionality in dollars per ticket is $1.67.
