You bought 7.5 pounds of oranges from your local farmer's market.

Define units for the price per pound of oranges and the amount spent. Then enter a variable for the price per pound of oranges and use this variable to write an expression for the amount spent.

Final answer:

To find the amount spent on oranges, define the price per pound with a variable 'p' and multiply by the weight, resulting in the expression for total cost: 7.5 x p.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount spent on oranges, you need to define the price per pound as a variable and then multiply this variable by the weight of the oranges to get the total cost. Let's define the variable p to represent the price per pound of oranges. Using this variable, the expression for the amount spent would be 7.5 × p.
