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:
-
First Table:
- 1 pizza: $10.00
- 2 pizzas: $20.00
- 3 pizzas: $28.00
- 4 pizzas: $36.00
- Not proportional (inconsistent increments).
-
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).
-
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).
-
Fourth Table:
- 3 pizzas: $9.00
- 5 pizzas: $25.00
- 7 pizzas: $49.00
- 9 pizzas: $81.00
- Not proportional (cost per pizza varies).
-
Fifth Table:
- 1 pizza: $6.00
- 2 pizzas: $18.00
- 3 pizzas: $27.00
- 4 pizzas: $36.00
- Not proportional (cost per pizza varies).
