Answer:
Y=2x, total cost($)=(2$/pound)*number of pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, I can help you with this
you can solve this by using a simple rule of three.
Step 1
define
if the peaches are sold for $ 2 per pound:
$2 ⇔ 1 pound
use x and y for number of pounds(x) and total cost and (y)
$y ⇔ x pound
the relation is
[tex]\frac{2}{1 pound}=\frac{x}{y}[/tex]
Step 2
Solve for y
[tex]\frac{2}{1 }=\frac{y}{x} \\\frac{2*x}{1 }=y\\y=2x\\[/tex]
it menas that x ( number of pounds) is the independent variable, and y( total cost) is the dependent variable.
total cost($)=(2$/pound)*number of pounds
y=2x
Have a good day
