Answer:

The relationship between price and the number of empanadas is PROPORTIONAL.

1 Empanada = 50 cent = $0.5

Constant of PROPORTIONALITY = ½

Explanation:

From the given table:

2 Empanadas = $1

6 Empanadas = $3

We see that, as the number of Empanadas increases, the amount in Dollars also increases. Such that:

Let E = Empanadas

$ = dollar

~ = sign of PROPORTIONALITY.

Therefore:

$ ~ E

$ = KE

Where K = constant of proportionality.

When E = 4; $ = 2

$2 = K4

K= 2/4

K = ½

$ = ½E (Binding formula)

This applies for all the number of Empanadas bought.
