Student A is correct. The business donates $5.00 for every 10 tickets sold, which means for each ticket sold, the donation is \( \frac{5}{10} = 0.50 \) dollars. Thus, the relationship is \( y = 0.50x \) or \( y = \frac{1}{2}x \). Therefore, Student B’s equation \( y = \frac{1}{2}x \) is correct, but the claim should be adjusted to reflect the donation amount correctly since they both miss the actual $5 for every 10 tickets.
The local business will donate $5.00 for every 10 tickets sold. Let x represent tickets sold, and y represent dollars donated. Student A claims that the equation is y = 2x. Student B claims that the equation is y = 1
