at the deli counter in the supermarket, nigel paid $10 for 2 1/2 pounds of roast beef. the cost of deli meat is proportional to its weight. what is the equasion for the graph of the graph of this proportional relationship?(1 point)
Let's denote the cost of the deli meat as C and the weight of the deli meat as W.
According to the problem, Nigel paid $10 for 2 1/2 pounds of roast beef.
We can set up a proportion to find the cost per pound (c):
10/2.5 = c/1
Simplifying the fraction:
4 = c
Therefore, the equation for the graph of this proportional relationship is C = 4W.
