Answer:
Equation B, 10 + 5.50n = y.
Step-by-step explanation:
N is the pounds of shrimp that were purchased. This has no set value, it can change at any time.
Since each pound of shrimp is $5.50, if you wanted to buy 10 pounds of fish you'd pay $55.
If I wanted to write an equation to find the total amount of money that I'd need to pay for n pounds of shrimp, I would use the equation 5.50n. (I don't know if this makes sense lol I'm terrible at explaining ;-;)
Now, it states that he wants an extra 10 dollars to pay for expenses. On top of the 5.50n, he wants an extra $10.
You need to add 10 to 5.50, in order to get the total amount, or y.
The final equation is going to be 5.50n + 10 = y, or choice B.
