Apply 9. The table shows the amount a restaurant is donating to a local school based on various dinner bills. Is the amount of the donation proportional to the dinner bill? If so, what would be the donation for a dinner bill of $50? If not, explain. Donations Dinner Bill ($) 25 30 35 40 Donation ($ 4.50 5.40 6.30 7.20​

Answer: Yes, $9.

Explanation:

From what I understand, since the table isn't showing: \

Dinner bill $25:$4.50 tip, $30:$5.40, etc..

To find if Bill is proportional, we need to find the rate of each tip to Bill and see if they match.

$25/$4.50 =5.555555555...

$30/$5.40 =5.555555555...

$35/$6.30 =5.555555555...

$40/$7.20 =5.555555555...

The rate is the same for each one, so yes, the amount of the donation proportional to the dinner bill.

To find the donation for a bill of $50, divide by the rate we found above.


Tip=$50/5.555555555=9.000...
