Answer 1

y=7.5x

Explanation:

The total cost y of x pounds of almonds would be equal to the result of multiplying the cost per pound of almond for the number of pounds of almonds.

Also, you can find the price per pound of almond by dividing the cost provided by the number of pounds:

30/4=7.5

The equation would be:

y=7.5x, where y is the total cost and x is the number of pounds of almonds.
