Answer:
$285
Step-by-step explanation:
Blueberries:
B = number of pounds of blueberries bought
$5.50 = price of blueberries per pound
$5.50B = total price of B pounds of blueberries
Blueberries:
R = number of pounds of raspberries bought
$4 = price of raspberries per pound
$4R = total price of R pounds of raspberries
Total:
$5.5B + $4R
Since 5.5B+4R=285, then Amit spends in total on both types of berries $285
Complete question:
5B+4R=28
The above equation is true if Amit buys B pounds of blueberries and R pounds of raspberries at a farm where blueberries cost $5.50 per pound and raspberries cost $4.00 per pound. According to the equation, how much does Amit spend in total on both types of berries?
Answer:
In total Amits spends $28 in both types of berries.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is
5B+4R=28
B represent the weight in pounds of the blueberries and R represent the weight in pounds of the raspberries.
B = weight in pounds of blueberries
R = weight in pounds of raspberries
The price per pound of blue berries is $5.50. The amount of blueberries he takes depending on the number of pounds Amit buys which is equals to 5B.
Cost of blueberries depending on the number of pounds = 5.5B
The price per pound of the blue berries is $4.00 .The cost of raspberries he takes depend on the number of pounds Amit buys which is equal to 4R.
Cost of raspberries depending on the number of pounds = 4R
The total cost of both blueberries and raspberries depending on the number of pounds is equals to 5B+4R=28
Total cost
5B+4R=28
In total Amits spends $28 in both types of berries.
