Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: ($4.19 x 1) + ($6.95 x 4) = $31.99

Step-by-step explanation: 4.19 is the price of the loaf of bread, so the first part of the equation ($4.19x), in this case the x is 1 since she bought only one loaf.

6.95 is the price of the turkey per pound, so our second part to the equation, ($6.95y), in this case y is 4 since the turkey weighed 4 pounds.

The complete equation is the combined cost of the turkey and bread so ($4.19x) + ($6.95y) = $?

The we replace the letters, ($4.19 x 1) + ($6.95 x 4) = $?

And then we add and multiply, ($4.19 x 1) + ($6.95 x 4) = $31.99
