Answer:

3x + 6y = 108

Explanation:

  1. We are given the cost of x ($3) and y ($6) and the total cost (which will be on the right side of the = sign)
  2. We know that x + y = total. This means that we will add $3 and $6 to get the total.
  3. You would multiply $3 by x in case there is more than one reap purchased. This applies to biscuits as well.
  4. In conclusion, you would use this information to get...
  5. 3x + 6y = 108 (or $3y + $6y = $108)

If I am incorrect in my reasoning, please let me know so that I can plan better for my future answers. Have an amazing day.
