Question

Peaches are being sold for $2 per pound. If x represents the number of pounds of peaches bought and yrepresents the total cost of the peaches, which best describes the values of x and y?

Answer 1

1) x = pounds/peaches bought
2) y = total cost of the peaches
3) formula would be: y = $2x

but i don't understand what you'd want to know...

Answer 2

Let

x----------> represents the number of pounds of peaches bought

y----------> represents the total cost of the peaches

we know that

Peaches are being sold for
`2(\$)/(pound)`

so

the equation that best describes the values of x and y is equal to

`y=2x` or
`x=y/2`

The relationship between the two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation

therefore

the answer is

`y=2x` or
`x=y/2`
