Answer 1

let g, b, p be the number of pounds of grapes, bananas, and pears

Answer 2

now make an equation representing them

Answer 3

As someone has already stated:

"let g, b, p be the number of pounds of grapes, bananas, and pears"

In the word problem it states:

"(g), is $2.19 per pound,(b), is $0.59 per pound.,and (p), is $1.49 per pound."

So 2.19 would be the price of each pound of (Grapes)=(g),0.59 is the price for each pound of (Bananas)=(b),and 1.49 is the price per pound of (Pears)=(p).

So with all that being said your equation would be set up in order from the first price stated to the last price stated.

Equation:

\[2.19g+0.59b+1.49p\]
