Sam opened a savings account with a deposit of $50. Every month after that, he

deposited $20 more. Is this a proportional relationship? Why or Why not?

Explanation:

It is given that,

Sam opened a savings account with a deposit of $50. Every month after that, he deposited $20 more.

It is not a proportional relationship. As initial amount was $50 and every month he deposited $20 more. The ratio is not constant for the deposited amounts.

To make the relationship proportional, he must start with zero balance and then should have deposited $20 every month.
