at the deli counter in the supermarket, nigel paid $10 for 2 1/2 pounds of roast beef. the cost of deli meat is proportional to its weight. what is the equasion for the graph of the graph of this proportional relationship?(1 point)

Answer 1

Let's denote the cost of the deli meat as C and the weight of the deli meat as W.

According to the problem, Nigel paid $10 for 2 1/2 pounds of roast beef.

We can set up a proportion to find the cost per pound (c):

10/2.5 = c/1

Simplifying the fraction:

4 = c

Therefore, the equation for the graph of this proportional relationship is C = 4W.
