For Step 1

Al's

k=1.50/6=1/4=0.25

Barbara's

k=3.12/13=0.24

Step 2

Al's

y=0.25x

Barbara's

y=0.24x

Step 3

Using the formula and the value of k we can calculate the missing value of the table

ears 6 14 21 200

cost $1.50 $3.50 $5.25 $50

ears 13 14 21 208

cost $3.12 $3.36 $5.04 $49.92

Step 4.

the constant of proportionality gives us the cost per ear

Step 5.

Barbar's has the better value because the constant of proportionality is a little low than Al's constant
