    Step-by-step explanation:

    Janet, Rose, and Tanya buy different number postcards from their favorite souvenir shop

    Janet buys 3 postcards for $1.05.

    This means Janet bought one postcard at the rate of 1.05/3 = 0.35 per postcard.

    Rose buys 5 postcards for $1.75.

    This means Rose bought one postcard at the rate of 1.75/5 = $0.35 per postcard.

    Tanya buys 8 postcards for $2.80.

    This means Tanya bought one postcard at the rate of 1.75/5 = $0.35 per postcard.

    The unit rate at which Janet, Rose and Tanya bought = $0.35

    This means the cost, y, in dollars and the number of postcards, x is proportional.

    The equation representing the relationship is

    x = 0.35y
