Answer:
He would make $36 for 12 pounds of strawberries
He would make $196 for 49 pounds of blueberries

He would make 3S if he sold S pounds of strawberries
He would make 4B if he sold B pounds of blueberries

Working:
We know that strawberries are $3/pound so $3 x 12pounds = $36
We know that blueberries are $4/pound so $4 x 49pounds = $196

The letters represent the amount of pounds of fruit being bought so the calculation for that is ($ x pounds) so you would write this but without assigning a numerical value to the amount. So if the strawberries are $3/pound and Luke sold ‘s’ pounds then it would be 3S (or 3xS but that is already assumed). The same goes for the blueberries. We know that they are $4/pound so it would be 4B.

Sorry if this doesn’t make any sense but I hope this helped

Answer:

Wyatt wrote the correct expression

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are to evaluate which of the students wrote an expression with the highest common factor being 8c

For Tanya; 32c + 16c; 16c( 2 + 1); This is wrong as the highest common factor is 16c

For Wyatt, we have 8c - 48cd; factorizing, we have 8c(1-6cd); This is correct

For Xavier we have 36c-24c; 8 is not a factor of 36, so it won’t work

For Yang 8c + 40; 8(c+ 5); what we are trying to look for is 8c and not 8 so this is wrong also
