Her situation can be modeled by the linear equation (in standard form):

x*$0.25 + y*$0.79 = $2.50

<h3>How to write the equation that represents her situation?</h3>

The variables that we will use here are:

x = number of apples that she can buy.

y = number of bananas that she can buy.

We know that she has $2.50 to spend, that each apple costs $0.25 and each banana costs $0.79, then the cost of the x apples and y bananas is:

x*$0.25 + y*$0.79

and that must be equal to the amount she has to spend, then we can write the linear equation:

x*$0.25 + y*$0.79 = $2.50

That is the linear equation in standard form that represents her situation.
