Answer:
[tex]p = 0.3w[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]w \to weight[/tex]
[tex]p \to price[/tex]
[tex](w,p) = (12,3.60)[/tex]
Required
The equation
First, we calculate the unit ratio (k)
This is calculated by dividing price by weight
[tex]k = p/w[/tex]
[tex]k = 3.60/12[/tex]
[tex]k = 0.3[/tex]
Recall that: [tex]k = p/w[/tex]
Make p the subject
[tex]p = kw[/tex]
Substitute [tex]k = 0.3[/tex]
[tex]p = 0.3w[/tex]
