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.
[tex]\text {Total cost}=0.50x+0.30y[/tex]
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.
