Question

During the summer Gia works as a camp counselor the graph shows the amount of money Gia earns for each day she works on the graph. It shows that she works one day it’s $40.02 days is $80.03 days is $120 and four days is $160. The amount Gia earns per day, is it the same for each time. Or is it not the same for each time. And is the relationship proportional or not proportional?

Answer 1

The amount Gia earns per day is not the same for each time.

To determine if the relationship is proportional, we can divide the amount earned by the number of days worked:

$40 ÷ 1 day = $40
$80 ÷ 2 days = $40
$120 ÷ 3 days = $40
$160 ÷ 4 days = $40

Since the amount earned per day remains constant at $40, the relationship is proportional.
