Question

Suppose the cost of 10 pounds of grapes at stall A is $15. Would the relationship will be proportional?Explain

Answer 1

The relationship is proportional.

Explanation:

The cost of 10 pounds of grapes at stall A is $15.

So, the price rate of grapes is
`(15)/(10) = 1.5` dollars per pound.

So, the relation between the weight (w, in pounds) and the price of grapes (c, in dollars) are related as

c = 1.5w ......... (1)

So, from the above equation, we can say that the relationship is proportional. (Answer)
