Read the description of a proportional relationship.
To help the environment and make some extra money, Aaron takes his empty cans to the Cash Not Trash recycling shop. The shop pays cash based on the total weight of the cans Aaron brings in for recycling. There is a proportional relationship between the weight (in 
pounds
) of the cans Aaron brings into the shop, 
x

dollars
) the shop pays Aaron,
