Company B; the ratios of cost to weight are equivalent.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
In the equation,
k is the constant of proportionality.
If the values are in accordance with
, the values of k will be constant for all the values.

If
. In these tables, y is the total cost and x is the weight in lbs.
Step 2:
For company A,
when 
when 
when 
For company B,
when 
when 
when 
So company B has a constant value of
.
PEMDAS (order of operations rules) require that we perform operations in a certain order: anything inside parentheses first, followed by any exponentiation, followed by mult. and div., finally followed by addition and subtraction.
Thus, we must evaluate 5+8÷4-1 first, as it's inside parentheses. Focusing on the division first, we get 5+8÷4-1 = 5 + 2 - 1, or 6.
Then we have 5 - [6], which comes out to -1.
