Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cucumber = x

And the cost of the cucumber = y

Cost of the cucumber will be directly proportional to the number of cucumbers.

y ∝ x

y = kx [Here, k = proportionality constant]

Since, market sells 3 cucumbers for $1.2

1.2 = k(3)

k = 0.4

Therefore, equation for this situation will be,

y = 0.4x

Part A

If x = 1,

y = 0.4(1)

  = 0.4

For x = 2,

y = 0.4(2)

  = 0.8

For x = 3,

y = 0.4(3)

  = 1.2

Number of cucumbers            Cost($)

          1                                          0.4

          2                                         0.8

          3                                          1.2

Part B

Equation representing relation between number of cucumbers and the cost will be,

y = 0.40x [Option A]
