Question

Write an equation to model the total cost,y, for x pounds of blueberries.

Answer 1

Given:

Customers can pick their own blueberries at Blueberry Hill. They pay $5 to enter the patch and $4 per pound for the blueberries they pick.

Required:

We have to write an equation to model the given expression.

Explanation:

Let the total cost be y,

And x denotes the amount in pounds of blueberries.

Since, Given to enter the patch customers pay $5 (fixed)

and Given the customers pay $4 per pound for the blueberries they pick so for x pounds of blueberries cost 4x

Thus, total cost y = 4x + 5

Thus, Option (a) is correct.

Answer
