Question

Customers can pick their own apples at wells orchards. They pay $6 to enter the orchard and $2 per pound for the apples they pick. Write an equation to model the total cost, y, for x pounds of apples

Answer 1

Y=2x+6

Explanation:

Answer 2

y = 2x + 6

Explanation:

Customers can pick their own apples at wells orchards.

The entrance fees to the orchard = $6.00

The price of the apples = $2.00 per pound

Let the apples picked by the customers = x pounds

So cost of the x pounds of apples = $2x

Therefore, total cost y = cost of the apples + entry charge

y = 2x + 6

The equation that models the total cost of the apples will be y = 2x + 6
