Question

1 The San Diego Safari Park charges $18 for parking, plus an admission fee of $56. This can be represented by the equation c = 56p + 18, where c is the total cost and p is the number of people. Determine whether there is a proportional relationship between c and p.

Answer 1

Answer: No

Explanation:

Given: The San Diego Safari Park charges $18 for parking, and an admission fee of $56.

This can be represented by the equation c = 56p + 18, where c is the total cost and p is the number of people.

Equation of direct proportion:
`k=\frac{y}x`

But here we have a y-intercept as 18.

So, we cannot say there is a proportional relation ship between c and p.
