    Answer: The constant of variation is $3

    Step-by-step explanation: With $3 you can buy:

    1 kg of the $3 candy.

    1.5 kg of the $2 candy.

    2kg of the $1.5 candy

    3kg of the $1 candy

    6kg of the $0.5 candy.

    The rate of variation is:

    amount of candy = amount of money/price of the candy

    In this case, the amount of money is $3 fixed, so the relation is:

    Amount of candy = $3/price of the candy

    then the constant of variation is $3
