The equation shows this relationship is d = 5m
Solution:
Given that, All members of the chess club must pay $5 each year in membership dues
The number of members, m, is proportional to the amount collected in dues each year, d
Let "m" be the number of members
Let "d" be the amount collected in dues each year
From given statement,
Amount collected in 1 year for 1 member = $ 5
Then for "m" members,
Amount collected in 1 year for "m" member = 5m
d = 5m
[tex]m = \frac{d}{5}[/tex]
Where 1/5 represents the constant
[tex]m \propto d[/tex]
So, number of members, m, is proportional to the amount collected in dues each year, d
Thus the equation shows this relationship is d = 5m
