Answer:

y = 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Claire is hungry. She buys 2 donuts each costing x $. How much should she pay?

Since one donut costs x $ 2 donuts cost 2x $.

Therefore, total amount Claire should pay, call it y = 2x.

Hence, we have y = 2x.

Y = total costs to get the berries

x = pounds of berries.

bearing in mind that the $5 is just to get in, so is only paid once, whilst the pounds of berry will vary.
