Tammy rents an apartment close to her school campus. The equation that is given is this one:

r = 355m,

where r is the amount spend on the rent.

m is the number of months.

In order to get the constant proportionality of r to m in this relationship, then we can set a constant k variable.

r = 355 m (k)

k = 1 r / 355 m

1 hour spent, it takes you to spend 355.
