Write the equation that represents the situation then determine the cost of 5 cans of coffee: A supermarket sells 2 cans of ground coffee for$18.50. The cost of coffee varies directly with the number of cans.

The equation is;

C = kg

c is the cost in $

k is the proportionality constant $/can

g is the number of cans

cost of 5 cans of coffee is $46.25

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, 2 cans of ground coffee costs $18.50

Let c be the cost and g be the number of ground coffee

18.50 = k * 2

where k is the constant of proportionality;

k = 18.5/2

k = 9.25

So, the cost of 5 coffee cans will be;

c = 9.25 * 5 = $46.25
