Question
The table shows a proportional relationship between the number of cartons of eggs, X, and the cost of the cartons of eggs, Yin dollars , in Grayson City The cost of a carton of eggs in Branson City is twice as much as in Grayson City. Travis says that since a carton of eggs costs twice as much in Branson City, the equation expressing the relationship between the number of cartons of eggs, X and the cost of the cartons of eggs, y, in dollars, in Branson City is y = 2x . Which statement is correct?
Branson City is y = 2x.
Which statement is correct?
O A. Travis is correct because the numbers of cartons of eggs
and the costs of the cartons of eggs are all multiples of 2
B. Travis is correct because the relationship between the
cost of a carton of eggs in Branson City is twice the cost of a
carton of eggs in Grayson City.
C. Travis is incorrect since the cost of a carton of eggs in
Grayson City is $1.50 and the cost of a carton of eggs in
Branson City should be half that, or $0.75.
D. Travis is incorrect since the cost of a carton of eggs in
Grayson City is $1.50 and the cost of a carton of eggs in
Branson City should be twice that, or $3.00
