Answer 2

`5c+0.05(5c)`

`1.05(5c)`

`5(c+0.05c)`

Explanation:

Let

c-----> the cost per pound of the apples

y----> the total cost

we know that

`5\%=5/100=0.05`

so

The algebraic expression that represent the situation is

1)
`y=5c+0.05(5c)` ------> equation A

2) Factor
`5c` -----> in the equation A

`y=5c(1+0.05)`

`y=1.05(5c)`

3) Factor
`5` -----> in the equation A

`y=5(c+0.05c)`
