Option: a is correct.

a) 0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

it is given that:

The manager of a food court estimates that he needs 7 pretzels for every 20 people who attend a hockey game.

it means that 20 people require 7 pretzels.

this means 1 person require = 7/20 pretzel=0.35 pretzel.

Hence, the constant of proportionality relates the number of pretzels to people is:

0.35.

Hence, option a is correct.
