Mary is painting pumpkins to earn money. She plans on selling each pumpkin for $7.50. She currently has $200 in her savings account. Is the amount of money in her bank account proportional to the number of pumpkin she sells?

Respuesta :

Answer: No. It's not proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

The direct proportion in mathematics is expressed as:

y = kx

where

y = $200

k = constant

x = $7.50

We then solve for k

y = kx

200 = 7.50k

k = 200/7.50

k = 26.67

Since k isn't a whole number, then the amount of money in her bank account proportional to the number of pumpkin she sells.
