Answer:

D. Yes, because the price is 5 times the number of boxes

Explanation:

To know if they are proportional check to see if there is a number common to the relationship between the y and x to all the numbers:

10/2=5

15/3=5

20/4=5

25/5=5

There is a relationship of 5 and the 5 is multiplied to the x=boxes.

So the correct answer is, Yes, because the price is 5 times the number of boxes.
