Question

Consider the following situation:

Sweet Springs Candy Shop sold 2 pounds of chocolates for $9.98 and 5 pounds of chocolate for $24.95.

A. Is the relationship between the number of pounds of chocolate and the total cost proportional?

B. Why or why not?

Answer 1

Yes, they are proportional.

Explanation:

If we round it up we can assume that 2 chocolates = $10

which mean each one is about $5

5x5=25 the number stays the same and the price does not change making it proportional.
