At the deli counter in the supermarket, Nigel paid $10 for 212 pounds of roast beef. The cost of deli meat is proportional to its weight. What is the equation for the graph of this proportional relationship?(1 point)

7 answers

To determine the equation for the graph of this proportional relationship, we need to find the constant of proportionality, which represents the cost per pound of roast beef.

Let's call the cost per pound of roast beef "c". Then, the equation representing this proportional relationship is:

Cost = (Cost per pound) x (Weight)

In this case, the cost is $10, and the weight is 212 pounds. Therefore, we can write the equation as:

10 = c x 212

Dividing both sides by 212, we have:

10/212 = c

Therefore, the equation for the graph of this proportional relationship is:

Cost = (10/212) x Weight

Or rearranging:

Cost = (0.04716981132) x Weight

So, the equation for the graph of this proportional relationship is:

Cost = 0.04716981132 x Weight
Wrong, it's 4.
Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's reassess the situation.

If Nigel paid $10 for 212 pounds of roast beef, we can determine the cost per pound by dividing the total cost by the weight:

Cost per pound = Total cost / Weight

Cost per pound = $10 / 212 pounds

Cost per pound ≈ $0.0471698

Therefore, the equation for the graph of this proportional relationship is:

Cost = $0.0471698 x Weight

Simplifying, we can round it to:

Cost = $0.05 x Weight

Sorry for the confusion earlier. The correct equation for the graph of this proportional relationship is:

Cost = $0.05 x Weight.
wrong the anwser is 4
