Mrs. Lovewell needs your help trying to determine where to get the best value for candy to buy to pass out to trick or treaters for Halloween. M & M are her favorite so she looked for all value packs containing M&Ms and other types of candy. Belower are the prices she found for each company:

Amazon: 23.98 for 365 pieces of candy
Walmart: 9.94 for 55 pieces of candy
Target: 15.99 for 150 pieces of candy
Sams: 16.42 for 115 pieces of candy
Dollar general: 10.00 form 100

In order to prove to me what is the best you need to:
Find the Constant of Proportionality for each and show the math for how you found it
Turn each constant of proportionality into an equation
Create a table for each one showing how much 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 pieces of candy would cost from each store.
This means you will need 5 total tables
Create a graph plotting the numbers for the table
You will plot all 5 stores on the same graph
Make each line a different color to better be able to differentiate
Present a claim for which store would be best, and use your C.O.P as evidence to support.
