Question

Gina is buying bags of apples at the grocery store. Each bag of apples has five apples in it. Which equation shows the relationship between the number of apples, y, and the number of bags, x.

A.y=5x
B.y=x+5
C.y=1/5x
D.y=x-5

Answer 1

y=5x

Explanation:

Given no of bags is x

No of apples in each bag is 5

Thus no of apples in x bags can be obtained by multiplying no of bags(x in this case) with No of apples in each bag (5 in this case).

Total no of apples in x bag = 5*x = 5x

As y represent relationship between number of apples and bag. 5x will be equal to y.

it can be represented as y = 5x

Thus equation A y=5x shows the relationship between the number of apples, y, and the number of bags, x
