Han buys candy at $3.75 a pound. What equation best
represents his total cost (y), if x is the number of pounds
of candy he purchased?
a) x = y + 3.75
b) X = 3.75y
c) y = x + 3.75
d) y = 3.75 x

D) y= 3.75x

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost is y, therefore you set the equation equal to y since you want to find the total cost of candy he purchased.

X is the number of pounds, and the candy is $3.75 each pound.

When you set up the equation, it is

y=3.75x

Which also means: the total cost of the candy depends on how many pounds (which is $3.75 per pound) he buys.
