Answer 1

amount spent = y

pounds of potatoes = x

dollars per pound = m

other ingredients cost = b

y=mx+b

Answer 2

amount spent = m× x + b

Explanation:

Let y be the amount of money gary will spend and wants by x amount of potatoes at a prices of m dollars and he has already spent b dollars.

Therefore: The total cost of potatoes that Gary wants to buy is

= x pounds of potatoes × m dollars per pound of potatoes

= mx dollars spent

he has spent b dollars on other ingredients and therefore the total amount that Gary has spent is

= mx + b

So y=mx+b
