Question

you and your friends go to the movies the cost of admission is $9.50 per person create a table showing the relationship between the number of people going to the movies and the total cost of admission explain why the cost of admission is proportional to the amount of people

Answer 1

To create a table like that, you can have two columns. One labeled "Number of People" and the other "Price in Dollars." Since each ticket costs $9.50, the cost for one person must also be $9.50. For two people it would be $19.00 (9.50×2), and so on. The cost of the tickets are proportional to the amount of people. This is because the tickets sell at a constant rate, also know as the constant of proportionality, which in this case is 9.50.
