C. Represent proportional relationships by equations. For example, if total cost t is proportional to the number n of items purchased at a constant price p, the relationship between the total cost and the number of items can be expressed as t = pn.
Common Core: 7.RP.2c
Examples:
1. Michael Phelps swam 30 laps in 10 minutes, or three laps every minute. What is the equation for the number of laps he can swim per minute?
2. Identify the constant in the graph y = 3x
