Student A is correct. The donation is $5 for every 10 tickets sold, which means for every ticket, the donation is $0.50. Therefore, the equation is \( y = 0.5x \). However, since \( 5 = 2 \times 10 \), we also can express it as \( y = 2 \frac{x}{10} \) = \( 2x/10 \) = \( y = \frac{1}{5}x \), which simplifies to \( 2x \) only when considering the fixed increments as scaled when multiplied. So, based on the setup, the appropriate equation for donations generated per ticket sold overall reflects \( y = 0.5x \).
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
