The Frosty Chalet hired Sa’Breia and Kaylyn for their Bradford store. Sa’Breia is the manager. Kaylyn is the cashier. In their first year, Sa’Breia will be paid $15 per hour, and Kaylyn will be paid $7.50 per hour. They have been told that after every year with the company, they will each be given a raise of $2 per hour. Is the relationship between Sa’Breia’s pay and Kaylyn’s pay rate proportional?

Respuesta :

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Since the amount added to each is the same (not proportional to the amount they already receive), the difference between the two salaries will remain the same. That is,

... k = s - 7.50

When there is an added value like this, the relationship cannot be expressed as a proportion:

... k = c·s
