-600-

Step-by-step explanation:

Pear cost=x

Orange cost=x-y

4 pears= 4x

6 oranges=6x-6y or x-y x6

Use ratio.

Pears: x cents

4 Pears: 6x cents

You x4 on each side. Same with oranges.

Orange: x-y

6 oranges: x-y x6

You x6 on each side.

constant of proportionality = 3 and the equation is c = 3p.

step-by-step explanation:

c = kp   where c = amount of caffeine in mg., p = oz of pepsi and k is the constant of proportionality.

substituting the values given:

24 = 8k

k = 3.

the same value of k will be obtained if we substitute the other given values.

inverse property is the answer
