Cam is a corrupt politician. Nobody votes for him except those he pays to do so. It costs Cam exactly $100 to buy each vote. Are Cam's costs proportional to the number of votes he receives? Yes or No

i would say yes as it is exactly 100 dollar for a vote so it s proportional. but it would probably cost him a billion dollars to win a election.

Answer with explanation:

Let number of votes bought by Sam =x

Cost of each vote = $ 100

So, Cost of x votes = $ 100 x

Let cost of x votes =y

y=100x


\rightarrow (y)/(x) =100

So, Yes Cam's costs proportional to the number of votes cam receives.
