Answer 1

The total cost of 6 candies is $2.00.

Explanation:

Given : f(x) is the total cost, in dollars, of x candies,

To Find: Which of the following statements best describes the meaning of f(2) = 6?

Solution:

We are given
`f(2)=6`

Since f(x) is the total cost, in dollars, of x candies.

So, 6 is the total cost of 2 candies.

Thus the total cost of 2 candies is $6.

Hence Option A is true.

The total cost of 6 candies is $2.00.

Answer 2

Since the cost is a function of the total number of candies (x), therefore the equation relates the total cost per amount of candies.

Since we have 2 candies therefore the correct statement should be that the total cost of 2 candies is $6.00

this statement is letter A of the given choices.
