Question 1173965
.
<pre>

This assignment assumes that you calculate three ratios


    {{{6.50/2}}},   {{{16.25/5}}}   and   {{{26/8}}}


to ensure that they all are equal to  3.25,  which is the price per pound.


This ratio is the proportionality coefficient, so now you can write  the proportionality relation


    C(x) = 3.25*x


between the mass of candies in pounds and the cost.
