To find the constant of proportionality, we need to divide the total payment by the total number of hours worked.
Total payment = $87 + $65.25 = $152.25
Total number of hours worked = 12 + 9 = 21
Constant of proportionality = Total payment / Total number of hours worked
= $152.25 / 21
= $7.25
Therefore, the answer is option C: 7.25.
