    a. M=20A

    b. k=20

    c. $1200

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Direct proportions

    Two variables are proportional if one of them is the other by a real number. That real number is called the Constant of proportionality. If x and y are proportional, then

    y=kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

    The question describes the relationship between the amount of money raised at a charity fundraiser and the number of attendees. If they have five attendees, they raise $100

    a.

    Let's call A the number of attendees and M the amount of money raised, and

    M=kA

    We know that M=100 when A=5, so

    100=k (5)

    This means that

    k=20

    The equation for the amount raised at the charity event is

    M=20A

    b.

    The constant of variation is k=20

    c. If there are 60 attendees (A=60), then

    M = (20) (60) = $1200
