Answer: Our required equation be t = x+yb.
Explanation:
Let the number of notebooks be 'x'
Let cost of each notebook be $1
Let cost of pens be $b.
Let the number of pens be y.
Let the total amount be 't'.
So, According to question, equation becomes
![t=x* 1+y* b\\\\t=x+yb](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/kxgsg57plyp41phpj62w4i4y7kaq9z3xs3.png)
Hence, our required equation be t = x+yb.
