Question

at a local grocery store apples cost $0.50 each and bananas cost $0.30 each. the expression 0.50x+0.30y can be used to find the cost of buying some apples and bananas. 1. interpret what the x and y represents in context. what does each term represent? what do each of the coefficients represent?

Answer 1

Answer:the X represents apples and the Y represents bananas. the coefficients represent how much each one of the x and y cost

Step-by-step explanation:

..

Answer 2

Answer: The x and y represents the number of bought apples and bananas respectively. The coefficients represents the cost of each apple and banana.

Explanation:

It is given that at a local grocery store apples cost $0.50 each and bananas cost $0.30 each. the expression 0.50x+0.30y can be used to find the cost of buying some apples and bananas.

Let the number of apple purchased be x and number of banana purchased be y.

The cost of each apple is $0.50. So, the cost of purchased apple is 0.50x.

The cost of each apple is $0.30. So, the cost of purchased apple is 0.30y.

The total cost is the sum of cost of apples and cost of bananas.

$\text {Total cost}=0.50x+0.30y$

It is same as the given equation.

So, the x and y represents the number of purchased apples and bananas respectively. The coefficients represents the cost of each apple and banana.
