C. 1.01
To find the constant of proportionality, we need to take the price and divide it by the number of pounds of lettuce.
For example, taking the first set of data:
Price: $2.02
Pounds of lettuce: 2
Constant of proportionality = $2.02 / 2 = $1.01
This applies to all the other sets of data as well.
The table shows the proportional relationship of the cost of lettuce per pound.
Pounds of Lettuce Price
0 $0.00
2 $2.02
4 $4.04
6 $6.06
10 $10.10
