Answer:

C = $5p + $3 where C is the final cost, and p is the number of pounds of blueberries you pick

Explanation:

They charge a flat rate of $3 just for the bucket, and 5 per pound.

5p represents how much you'll pay based on how many pounds you pick, each pound costs $5,

C = $5p + $3 means the Cost is $5 per pound (p) plus $3 for the bucket
