Question 1198948: The South Florida Fair sends out a coupon for 25% off the
price of an admission ticket. Select the equation that
represents the relationship, where y is the price of the
ticket with the coupon and x is the original price, and
determine if the relationship is proportional.
Ⓐ y = 0.25x; proportional
Ⓑ y = 0.75x; proportional
Ⓒ y = 1 - 0.25x; nonproportional
Ⓓ y = 1 - 0.75x; nonproportional

25% off means the discounted price is 75% of the regular price.

ANSWER: B

In terms of an equation of the form y = mx+b, the relationship is proportional if b = 0 -- as it is in this case. So the relationship is proportional.
