y=3.25x+4.5
y=3.25x
y=4.5×+3.25
y=4.5x​

Answer 1

Answer:

y=3.25x+4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

This is assuming x represents the number of pounds of turkey bought and y represents the total cost. The second one, y=3.25x can't be right, because it's missing the 4.50 that was spent on the loaf of bread. The third one, y=4.5x+3.25 can't be right because we already know that only one loaf of bread was bought, but we don't know how many pounds of turkey were bought, so the cost of the turkey can't just be 3.25. And the last one, y=4.5x, can't be right because it's missing the cost of the turkey that was bought. That leaves us with the answer y=3.25x+4.5. This one is right because it shows how we don't know how much turkey was bought, hence the x with the 3.25. And the cost of the bread is there, just 4.50.
