Blueberries:

B = number of pounds of blueberries bought

$5.50 = price of blueberries per pound

$5.50B = total price of B pounds of blueberries

Blueberries:

R = number of pounds of raspberries bought

$4 = price of raspberries per pound

$4R = total price of R pounds of raspberries

Total:

$5.5B + $4R

Since 5.5B+4R=285, then Amit spends in total on both types of berries $285

Answer 2

Complete question:

5B+4R=28

The above equation is true if Amit buys B pounds of blueberries and R pounds of raspberries at a farm where blueberries cost $5.50 per pound and raspberries cost $4.00 per pound. According to the equation, how much does Amit spend in total on both types of berries?

Answer:

In total Amits spends $28 in both types of berries.

Explanation:

The equation is

5B+4R=28

B represent the weight in pounds of the blueberries and R represent the weight in pounds of the raspberries.

B = weight in pounds of blueberries

R = weight in pounds of raspberries

The price per pound of blue berries is $5.50. The amount of blueberries he takes depending on the number of pounds Amit buys which is equals to 5B.

Cost of blueberries depending on the number of pounds = 5.5B

The price per pound of the blue berries is $4.00 .The cost of raspberries he takes depend on the number of pounds Amit buys which is equal to 4R.

Cost of raspberries depending on the number of pounds = 4R

The total cost of both blueberries and raspberries depending on the number of pounds is equals to 5B+4R=28

Total cost

5B+4R=28

In total Amits spends $28 in both types of berries.
