Question

Peaches are being sold for $2 per pound. If x represent the number of pounds of peaches bought and y represent the total cost of peaches, which best describes the value of x and y

Answer 1

y = 2x

or

x = 1/2*y

Answer 2

y = 2x

Explanation:

Peaches are being sold for $2.00 per pound.

If x represents the number of pounds of peaches bought,

then cost of x peaches = $2x

Since cost of the peaches is represented by y then y = 2x will be the relation described by x and y.
