If the cost of 1 kg of sugar is ₹ 36, then what would be the cost of 3 kg sugar?
Cost of 3 kg = 3 × cost of 1kg sugar
= 3 × 36 = ₹ 108

y
We find that as the value of x increases, value of y also increases in such a way that the ratio x
does not change; it
y
remains constant (say = k). In this case k = = = 36.
36 108

x 1 3

We say that x and y are in direct proportion,

y
If x
= k,
y
Or y = kx and x = k
