Answer 1

It would cost 3.6 dollars to by 4 bags of trail mix and 4.35 dollors to by 3 packs of chip

0.90x + 1.45y = the total amount

( plot the number in )
0.90(4) + 1.45(3) = the total amount

( now multiply 0.90 by 4 and 1.45 by 3 )

3.6 + 4.35

Therefore it would cost 3.6 dollars to by 4 bags of trail mix and 4.35 dollars to by 3 packs of chips
