A line graph shows amount in pounds on the x-axis and cost in dollars on the y-axis. Both the x-axis and y-axis range from 0 to 4 in increments of 0.25, and are marked at 1, 2, 3 and 4. A line starts at the origin and passes through plotted point left parenthesis 2 comma 3.75 right parenthesis.

Answer 1

To determine the correct graph that shows the relationship between the amount of salami purchased (112 pounds) and its cost ($3.75), we need to focus on the coordinates that represent this relationship.

The key points are:

• Amount in pounds (x-axis): 112
• Cost in dollars (y-axis): 3.75

Since none of the provided graphs seem to have coordinates that match this relationship (as everything is scaled between 0 to 4), we can simplify the relationship based on proportion:

Calculate the price per pound:

• Cost per pound = Total cost / Total pounds = $3.75 / 112 = approximately $0.0335 per pound.

However, based on the scales of the graphs, we can only focus on the way points are being calculated, which seems inadequate given the values.

From the provided options, none specifically represent the 112 pounds and $3.75 directly due to the scaling limitations. However, a point on the other graphs could be identified closer to a simplified small scale of the cost (which would be related to the function of prices and weights).

Nevertheless, look for the graph that passes close or aligned towards the point that reflects a realistic approximation of cost and weight if the scales were to stretch.

Since I don't see a valid selection that represents the larger scale (112 pounds), it seems identifying from above graphs may require additional scaling. You could aim for the one with 3.75 marked on the y-axis with a proportional relation to weight, which isn’t provided correctly in this case.

Please double-check if there's another context for more possible selections or any ranges beyond those shown.

Answer 2

pick one

Answer 3

Based on the given options and the need to select the graph that represents a relationship similar to buying salami for a specific amount, the most plausible choice is:

The last option: "A line graph shows amount in pounds on the x-axis and cost in dollars on the y-axis. Both the x-axis and y-axis range from 0 to 4 in increments of 0.25, and a line starts at the origin and passes through plotted point (1.5, 3.75)."

This graph reflects the cost of $3.75 at a lower weight. While it doesn’t represent the full scale of 112 pounds, the figure denotes the cost of 3.75, which aligns with the cost paid by Jayson.

Make sure to interpret this as a simplified version due to lack of adequate scaling representative of the original pound value.
