Peaches are being sold for $2 per pound if X represents the number of pounds of peaches bought and Y represents the total cost for the peaches which best describes the value of X and Y

Answer 1

y=2x because you multiply the amount of peaches by the money per amount and you get the total money

Answer 2

Y = 2X is the expression which describes the value of X and Y.
