Answer 1

anybodyy ?

Answer 2

I'm just going to walk you through it
$4 d (dates)
$2.75 p (pomegranates)
a certain amount of each will equal 12
that's multiplication, or 4d and 2.75p
so your equation will be
4d+2.75p=12
because, if you add up the amount it cost for the dates (4d) and the amount it cost for the pomegranates (2.75p) it will equal $12
so the answer is: c. 4d + 2.75p = 12 (pay attention to which variable goes with what amount per pound)
