Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost for 5 pounds of apples:

  ($4.25 * 5 pounds) - $2 coupon

  21.25 - 2

  19.25

Cost of apples with p pounds:   4.25p

If one pound was purchase: 4.25p = 4.25(1) = 4.25

4.25*5 = 21.25; this is how much five pounds of apples will cost Ryan.

You have a $2 coupon off the final amount.
21.25 - 2 = $19.25

Therefore, it’ll cost Ryan $19.25 to buy 5 pounds of apples with his coupon.

The expression is $4.25 per pound.
So it is 4.25*p or 4.25p
