Answer:

Non Proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

Make a proportion:

For example say you want to test out how many bottles of water you can buy for $10

Proportion:

4 - 6

10 - ?

Solve: 10×6÷4=15

So technically, you could only get 15 bottles for $10. Therefore, this is a non proportional problem.
