Annabelle went to the store to buy some apples. The price per pound of the apples is $3.75 per pound and she has a coupon for $3.25 off the final amount. With the coupon, how much would Annabelle have to pay to buy 3 pounds of apples? Also, write an expression for the cost to buy pp pounds of apples, assuming at least one pound is purchased.

final cost of 3 pounds:
final cost of p pounds:

final cost of 3 pounds:  8 dollars  

final cost of p pounds:   3.75p - 3.25  dollars  

Step-by-step explanation:

Each pound costs $3.75, so 3 pounds cost 3*3.75 = 11.25 dollars. Subtract off the $3.25 to get the final cost to be 11.25-3.25 = 8 dollars. This takes care of the first part.

For the second part, the expression for the final cost is 3.75p - 3.25; where the 3.75p is the cost before the coupon is applied. If you plugged p = 3 into that expression, you should get 8 as a result. The variable p is some positive whole number. It's a place holder for the number of pounds of apples.

5x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

you should always add the diagrams and graphs we cannot see. this particular question is kind of borderline because we can make a graph for you.

(f + g)x = -x^2 +3x + 5 + x^2 + 2x

(f + g)x = 5x + 5

the graph of z = 5x + 5 is shown below. always use desmos when in doubt.
