1 answer

A proportional relationship between the number of pizzas ordered and the total cost means that the total cost is a constant multiple of the number of pizzas ordered. In other words, the total cost can be expressed as \(Total Cost = k \times (Number of Pizzas Ordered)\), where \(k\) is a constant.

Let's analyze each table:

  1. First Table:

    • 1 pizza: $10.00
    • 2 pizzas: $20.00
    • 3 pizzas: $28.00
    • 4 pizzas: $36.00
    • Not proportional (inconsistent increments).
  2. Second Table:

    • 1 pizza: $8.00
    • 2 pizzas: $16.00
    • 3 pizzas: $24.00
    • 4 pizzas: $32.00
    • Proportional (cost per pizza is constant at $8.00).
  3. Third Table:

    • 2 pizzas: $12.00
    • 4 pizzas: $24.00
    • 6 pizzas: $36.00
    • 8 pizzas: $48.00
    • Proportional (cost per pizza is constant at $6.00).
  4. Fourth Table:

    • 3 pizzas: $9.00
    • 5 pizzas: $25.00
    • 7 pizzas: $49.00
    • 9 pizzas: $81.00
    • Not proportional (cost per pizza varies).
  5. Fifth Table:

    • 1 pizza: $6.00
    • 2 pizzas: $18.00
    • 3 pizzas: $27.00
    • 4 pizzas: $36.00
    • Not proportional (cost per pizza varies).
