Customers can pick their own blueberries at blueberry hill. they pay $5 to enter the patch and $4 per pound for the blueberries they pick. write an equation to model the total cost, y, for x pounds of blueberries.

a. y = 4x + 5
b. y = 4(x + 5)
c. y = x(5 + 4)
d. y = 5x + 4

Option (a) is correct.

Total cost y = 4x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Customers can pick their own blueberries at Blueberry Hill.

They pay $5 to enter the patch and $4 per pound for the blueberries they pick.

We have to write an equation to model the given expression.

Let the total cost be y,

And x denotes the amount in pounds of blueberries.

Since, Given to enter the patch customers pay $5 (fixed)

and  Given the customers pay $4 per pound for the blueberries they pick so for x pounds of blueberries cost 4x

Thus, total cost y = 4x + 5

Thus, Option (a) is correct.

answer is

c) 4
