Respuesta :

Answer:

An expression represents the amount of change she receives after her purchases is y=-1.79a-0.36b+27.01

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represents the number of pounds of apples

Let b represents the number of bananas

Cost of 1 pound apple = $1.79

So, Cost of a pounds apples = 1.79 a

Cost of 1 banana = $0.36

Cost of b bananas = 0.36b

Cost of 3 lb bag of potato i.e. 3 pounds of potato = $2.99

So, Total cost = 1.79a+0.36b+2.99

Abigail has $30.00 to buy groceries

Let y be the change received by her

So, Change received by her:

y = 30-( 1.79a+0.36b+2.99)

y= 30-1.79a-0.36b-2.99

y=-1.79a-0.36b+27.01

Hence  expression represents the amount of change she receives after her purchases is y=-1.79a-0.36b+27.01
