The price of a bag of oranges is directly proportional to the number of oranges packaged in the bag. The table shows this relationship.

What is the constant of proportionality?

Oranges(x) 8 12 16
Price($)(y) 2 3 4

I THINK THE ANSWER IS 4, I WILL GIVE MEDAL AND FAN. ALSO, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME, JUST LOOK AT MY FOLDER/EPORTFOLIO/THINGY (JUST CLICK MY PIC) AND FIND OUT (I RECEMEND IT, XD)!!!
