Question

Peaches are being sold for $2 per pound if x represent the number of pounds of peaches bought and y represent the total cost of the peaches which best describes the value of x and y

Answer 1

Explanation:

We are given that One pound of Peach is sold for $ 2

So If one pound sold for $ 2

Then 2 pound for $ 2·2=$ 4

Then 3 pound for $ 2·3=$ 6

Similarly x pounds will be sold for $ 2·x = $ 2x

So Total cost for x pound of peaches = $ 2x

It is also given to us that the total cost is represented by y .

So the equation we get is

y = 2x
