proportionally proportionately
I would like a second opinion. Is the word proportionally what I have to use to get the idea across?
How would you write:
The bigger the apartment the cheaper the rent [proportionally/proportionately [speaking].
You can find a one bedroom for $1,000 and a 2 bedroom for $1,200. The bigger the apartment the cheaper in proportion.
The longer the wait the less you pay to skip the wait [proportionally/proportionately [speaking]
Thanks

The longer the wait, the relatively less you pay to bypass it.
Relatively speaking, the 2-bedroom at $1200 is cheaper than the 1-bedroom at $1000.
