Answer:

y = 1.6x

Explanation:

y is the total amount/pounds of almonds that Lark bought. x is the amount that Tessa bought. 3/5 is the same as 0.6. If we multiplied Tessa's amount by 0.6 it would decrease by 2/5 so we have to add 1 to make it 1.6. To find how much Lark bought multiply 1.6 and Tessa's amount.
