Answer:
$18.00 ;
3.50x + 3.75y
Explanation:
Given that:
Cost per pound of raspberry = $3.50
Cost per pound of apple = $3.75
Cost of 2 pounds of raspberry = 3 * $3.50 = $10.50
Cost of 2 pounds of apple = 2 * $3.75 = $7.50
Total spent = $(10.50 + 7.50) = $18.00
Cost of X pounds of raspberry and Y pound of apple
.
(3.50 * X) + (3.75 * Y)
3.50x + 3.75y
