1.) \$2.22$2.22dollar sign, 2, point, 22 tip for a \$14.80$14.80dollar sign, 14, point, 80 order

2.) \$1.86$1.86dollar sign, 1, point, 86 tip for a \$10.50$10.50dollar sign, 10, point, 50 order

3.) \$0.78$0.78dollar sign, 0, point, 78 tip for a \$5.20$5.20dollar sign, 5, point, 20 order

Answers

1) proportional to Mike's tip

2) Not proportional to Mike's tip

3) proportional to Mike's tip

Explanation:

when two things have the same relative sides, they are said to be proportional.

To determine if the other tips are proportional to Mikel's tip, we will, first of all, determine the size of Mikel's tip, then compare the other tips with it.

Mikel's tip:

$1.32 for $8.80

=
(1.32)/(8.80)= 0.15

Now, let us compare this with the other tips

1.) $2.22 for 14.80

=
(2.22)/(14.80) = 0.15

proportional to Mike's tip

2.) $1.86 for $10.50


(1.86)/(10.50) = 0.177\\0.177 \\eq 0.15

Not proportional to Mike's tip

3.) $0.78 for $5.20

=
(0.78)/(5.20) = 0.15

proportional to Mike's tip
