Question

customers can pick up their own pumpkins at Baumanns farm. they pay $14 to enter the patch and $3 per round for the pumpkins they pick. write an equation to model to total cost, y, for x pounds of pumpkins Including the entry fee

Answer 1

14 + (x • 3) = y

Explanation:

14 is in there because it's the initial cost

x is multiplied by 3 because that's pounds and cost

and then that added all together is y, the final costs

Answer 2

y = 3x + 14

This is because you have 3 dollars multiplied by how many pounds of pumpkins, which is x and the 14 dollars for entering the patch
