Answer:

2.49y

Explanation:

This expression is correct because 2.49 is the cost per pound. If you know how many pounds of rice someone is going to buy, you can substitute y for the number. For example, if you were going to buy 2 pounds of rice, you can find the cost by multiplying 2.49 x 2 which equals $4.98. So, you're welcome.
