George observes that for every increase of 1 in the value of x, there is a increase of 60 in the corresponding value of y. He cl

aims that the relationship represented by the table is proportional. critique George's reasoning.

Hi there!

<u><em>FACTS</em></u><em> :</em>

<em>To see if multiple ratios are proportional, you can write them as fractions, reduce them, and compare them. If the reduced fractions are all the same, then you have proportionnal ratios. You can also write them as fractions and divide the numerator (top number) by its denominator (bottom number), and compare the decimal numbers the same way you would compare the fractions (I personnaly find this method easier because you don't need to simplify the fractions).</em>

<u>STEPS TO ANSWER:</u>

x = 1 ; y = 90 → \frac{1}{90} = 1 ÷ 90 = <u>0.01111111...</u>


x = 2 ; y = 150 → \frac{2}{150} = 2 ÷ 150 = <u>0.0133333...</u>


x = 3 ; y = 210 → \frac{3}{210} = 3 ÷ 210 = <u>0.01428571</u>


x = 4 ; y = 270 → \frac{4}{270} = 4 ÷ 270 = <u>0.0148148...</u>


x = 5 ; y = 330 → \frac{5}{330} = 5 ÷ 330 = <u>0.01515152</u>


<em>** You didn't really need to calculate them all because even the first two decimal numbers weren't equivalent, but I wanted to show you the whole process so I calculated them all.</em>


⇒ If you compare all the decimals you got, you can easily see that they are not the same, which means that the ratios between the values of "x" and the values of "y" are not proportional. Therefore, George's reasoning wasn't good.


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

a quick clarification and then some.

Profit is what's leftover after the cost is subtracted from the revenue, or namely, if you sell a product for some amount, say 10, and you sold 100 of those, so you made 10*100 or 1000, that's the revenue or the income coming in, however, in making the product you had to cover some expenses, like if it's clothing, well, you have to buy the garment and saw it, have premises and machines to make the clothing and so on, all that's expenses, and since it's out of pocket money, is Cost, if you subtract that Cost from the 1000 in Revenue, what's leftover, that surplus is Profit.

this company sells "p" units, each at $855, so their Revenue will just be 855p, expenses or Cost is a fixed amount of $6780, so the profit comes from their difference.

on a given month, they sold 250, namely p = 250, so their Revenue is just 250*855 = 213750 bucks, however, we need to remove the Costs of 6780, 213750 - 6780 = 206970, that's our Profit.

now, the CEO takes a bite of 15% of that

\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{15\% of 206970}}{\left( \cfrac{15}{100} \right)206970}\implies 31045.5

Rouns thia number to the nearest thousand 1,995,298
alexdok [17]

1,995,000

The number after the thousands place is 2, which is less than 5 so the thousands place is rounded to 5,000 instead of 6,000.
