Question

Customers can pick their own blueberries at blueberry hill. They pay $5 to enter the patch and $4 per round for the blueberries they pick.Write an equation to model cost,y, for x pounds for blueberries

Answer 1

y=5+4x
Because it is 5 dollars when you enter and then 4 dollars per round

Answer 2

y = 5.00 + (4x)

Explanation:

The entry fees to enter the patch = $5.00

customers can pick their own blueberries at the rate = $4.00 per pound

Let the customer pick 'x' pounds of blueberries.

To find the cost of total blueberries we will multiply $4 to x

To calculate the total cost, equation will be

y = 5.00 + (4x)
