May you please have answer choices. Please forgive me if I am being rude but I am not.

Yes, the total price is proportional to the pounds of oranges she purchased.

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of oranges is $0.78 per pound.

So, the price $0.78 corresponds to one pound, in a way, that is called direct proportionality.

This means that the price will increase or decrease in a constant ratio, depending on the amount of pounds purchased.

For example:

If she buys 1 pound of oranges she will pay $0.78. Ratio is 0.78 (0.78/1)

If she buys 2 pounds of oranges she will pay $1.56. Ratio is 0.78 (1.56/2)

If she buys 2.5 pounds of oranges she will pay $1.95. Ratio is 0.78 (1.95/2.5)

If she buys 3 pounds of oranges she will pay $2.34. Ratio is 0.78(2.34/3)

We can see that ratio is constant, then we can say that the total price she pays is proportional to the pounds of oranged purchased.
