Question 1041441: The cost C of double-dipped chocolate pretzel O's varies directly with the number of pounds of pretzels purchased, P. If the cost is $5442 when 5.0 pounds are purchased, find a linear function that relates the cost C to the number of pounds of pretzels purchased P.

C=kP, k is a constant and P=pounds
5442=k*5
k=1088.4
Therefore, the cost for 6 pounds is 6*1088.4=$6530.40
