What is a proportional relationship?

A proportional relationship is a function in which the output variable is given by the input variable multiplied by a constant of proportionality, that is:

y = kx

In which k is the constant of proportionality.

The constant is given by:

k = 15/1 = 30/2 = 45/3 = 15.

Hence the number of pieces of gums in x packages is given by:

y = 15x.

In 4 packages:

y = 15 x 4 = 60 pieces of gum.
