Question

James and Tyree have new jobs at YumYum’s Ice Cream Parlor. James is Tyree’s manager. In their first year, James will be paid $14 per hour and Tyree will be paid $7 per hour. They have been told that after every year with the company, they will each be given a raise of $2 per hour. Is this realationship porprotional?

Answer 1

No.

Explanation:

(h represents the hours; y represents years; m represents the total money they'd get!)

If you put this into an equation, for James it would be:

14h +2y = M

For Tyree, it would be:

7h + 2y = M

Because the numbers don't match up, the answer is no. The relationship is not proportional.
