You pay $1 to rent a movie plus an additional $0.50 per day until you return to the movie. Your friend pays $1.25 per day to rent a movie.

$1.50 $2.00 $2.50 $3.00 $3.50
$1.25 $2.50 $3.75 $5.00 $6.25
b: which person pays an amount proportional to the number of days rented?
its (b)
a: Your table is almost correct, but there is a small mistake. Here are the corrected tables showing the costs to rent a movie up to 5 days:
Person A:
Day 1: $1.00
Day 2: $1.50 ($1.00 rental fee + $0.50 for the second day)
Day 3: $2.00 ($1.00 rental fee + $0.50 for the second day + $0.50 for the third day)
Day 4: $2.50 ($1.00 rental fee + $0.50 for the second day + $0.50 for the third day + $0.50 for the fourth day)
Day 5: $3.00 ($1.00 rental fee + $0.50 for the second day + $0.50 for the third day + $0.50 for the fourth day + $0.50 for the fifth day)
Person B:
Day 1: $1.25
Day 2: $2.50 ($1.25 per day x 2 days)
Day 3: $3.75 ($1.25 per day x 3 days)
Day 4: $5.00 ($1.25 per day x 4 days)
Day 5: $6.25 ($1.25 per day x 5 days)
b: Based on the tables, you can see that Person A pays an amount proportional to the number of days rented. Person A pays $0.50 per day on top of the initial $1.00 rental fee, so the total cost increases linearly with each additional day. Person B, on the other hand, pays a fixed rate of $1.25 per day, regardless of the number of days rented. Therefore, Person A pays an amount proportional to the number of days rented.
