Answer 1

Answer :

• part A : C. 3.49m + 1.40p + 1.24c
• part B : B. $23.51

Explanation :

Part A)

given to us that m represents the no. of pounds of mangoes,p represents the no. of pounds of papayas and c represents the coconut thus, the total price would be equivalent to the variables multiplied by the cost per pound

• 3.49m + 1.40p + 1.24c

thus, option C. is the right answer.

Part B )

plug in m = 3, p = 4 and c = 6 in the above expression,

• 3.49*3 + 1.40*4 + 1.24*6
• $23.51

thus, option B. is the right answer .
