Yes, you can

Step-by-step explanation:

As a point of reference, assume the equation is:

y = 5x

Where

$y = total\ cost$

and

x = pounds

In standard unit of conversion:

$1\ pound = 0.4793\ quart$

So:

$x\ pounds = 0.4793x\ quart$

Substitute 0.4793x for x in y = 5x

y = 5 * 0.4793x

y = 2.3965x

The above equation is the equivalent of y = 5x in quarts

So, irrespective of what the equation is, you can always substitute quarts into the equation.
