Answer 2

Let watermelons = w

Let cantaloupes = c

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As given, a pound of cantaloupe = $2.99, while a pound of watermelon = $1.99

The expression will look like:

2.99c + 1.99w

The equation will look like:

Let t = total

t = 2.99c + 1.99w
