Question

Suppose you had $6.00 to buy bananas and apples. Bananas cost $0.49 per pound and apples cost $0.34 perpound. Write a linear equation that represents the different amounts of fruit you could buy0 49x + 34y = 300O 49x + 34y = 600O None of the other answers are correctO 49x - 34y = 6000 7x + 17y=300

Answer 1

0.49x + 0.34y = 6

Explanation:

Let us call x the pounds of bananas and y the pounds of apples.

Since one pound of bananas cost $0.49, the price of x pounds is

0.49x

Since one pound of apples cost $0.34
