Answer:
The cost over time is a proportional relationship
Step-by-step explanation:
Proportional relationships are relationships between two variables where their ratios are equivalent. Another way to think about them is that, in a proportional relationship, one variable is always a constant value times the other. That constant is know as the "constant of proportionality"
If the markers are 4.5 inches away on the map, and 2.5 inches represents 10 miles, then we need to make ratios we can work with.
Inches / Miles:
4.5 / x
2.5 / 10
Now, we can cross multiply to end up with:
2.5 * x = 4.5 * 10
Simplify:
2.5x = 45
Divide 2.5 on each side:
2.5x / 2.5 = 45 / 2.5
Simplify:
x = 45 / 2.5
x = 18
Awesome! Now we have a real ratio on the real distance of the markers.

18 miles is the actual distance between the two markers.

<span>"A TV is on sale at 30% off for $420"
What was the original price of the TV?
</span>
Well if you start to calculate first off you are sooner or later going to figure out that in order for it to be 420 the answer has to be bigger than 1,000. If you get to 1,200 and calculate 30 percent off of it it the answer is 360 so a ballpark quesstiminate would be to go two more hundredths up. Therefore 30 percent of 1,400 is 420
