Question

The table below shows the relationship between the number of cars sold and the amount of money earned by the car salesperson. Is the amount of money earned, in dollars, proportional to the number of cars sold?

Answer 1

Answer:

No, it is not proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be determined by looking at the first two items in the chart. I have looked at them all to find a certain pattern, but there wasn't any. The salesman earns $250 for one car sale, and he also earns $600 for two car sales, while this seems like it's just adding a $100 bonus, if you look at the third item on the chart adds a $200 bonus. You could be thinking that this is just adding a $100 bonus for how many cars were sold before, but then you move onto the fourth item on the chart. Which would give you $1,300 if the pattern was continued, yet instead the amount listed is $1,076.
