Answer:

y = 0.35x

Explanation:

Jane:

Cost of 3 postcards= $1.05

Cost of 1 post card = 1.05 ÷ 3

= $ 0.35

Rosi:

Cost of 5 postcards= $1.75

Cost of 1 post card = 1.75 ÷ 5

= $ 0.35

Tanya:

Cost of 8 postcards= $2.80

Cost of 1 post card = 2.80 ÷ 8

= $ 0.35

As unit rate is same, Cost and number of postcards are in proportion.

Cost of cards = 0.35 * number of cards

y = 0.35*x

y = 0.35x
