Answer:
The relationship between price and the number of empanadas is PROPORTIONAL.
1 Empanada = 50 cent = $0.5
Constant of PROPORTIONALITY = ½
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given table:
2 Empanadas = $1
6 Empanadas = $3
We see that, as the number of Empanadas increases, the amount in Dollars also increases. Such that:
Let E = Empanadas
$ = dollar
~ = sign of PROPORTIONALITY.
Therefore:
$ ~ E
$ = KE
Where K = constant of proportionality.
When E = 4; $ = 2
$2 = K4
K= 2/4
K = ½
$ = ½E (Binding formula)
This applies for all the number of Empanadas bought.
