Question

Customers can pick their own apples at the Happy Apple Farm. They pay $5

to enter the farm and S2.50 per pound for the apples they pick. Write an
equation to model the total cost, y, for x pounds of apples.
O A. y = 5x + 25
B. y = x(2.5 + 5)
c. y = 2.5x + 5
O D. y = 2.5(x + 5)

Answer 1

Answer: C

Explanation:

For this problem, we know that customers already have to pay $5 just to enter the farm. The $5 is basically a flat fee. Our equation would be:

y=5+____

Now, we know that the apples cost $2.50 per pound. Our final equaiton would be:

y=5+2.5x
