Josiah and Tillery have new jobs at YumYum's Ice Cream Parlor. Josiah is Tillery's manager. In their first year, Josiah will be paid $14 per hour and Tillery will be paid $7 per hour. They have been told that every year with their company, they will each be given a raise of $2 per hour. Is the relationship between Josiah's and Tillery's pay rate proportional? Explain your reasoning using a table.

Initially  Josiah gets 14 and Tillery gets 7     thats  2:1

After 5 years Josiah gits 24 and Tillery will get 17   that is  24:17 which is not 2:1

 

so the pay increases are not given in proportion and the pay thay get will not stay in the same proportion to one another :)
