Question 849760
The amount of sales tax on a clothing purchase is directly proportional to the purchase price of the clothing. The sales tax on a $60 sweater is $4.20. Determine the constant of variation
-------------------------------
t = k*p
4.2 = k*60
k = 4.2/60
k = 0.07 (that is the constant of variation)
