Answer:
a. 0.8x+1.25y
b. $5.70
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Let x represent the number of apricot bars and y represent the number of cranberry bars. A apricot bar costs 0.80 each and cranberry bars cost 1.25 each. So the expression for the income is 0.8x+1.25y.
b. To find the answer, plug in values to the previous expression. Since Kayley bought 4 apricot bars and 2 cranberry bars, plug in 4 for x and 2 for y.
0.8(4)+1.25(2)= 5.70
So, she spent $5.70.
