Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
banana = b = 50¢ = $.50
apple = a = 80¢ = $.80
Total cost of fruit = f
She bought 4 bananas for .50 each so we multiply 4*.50 to find the total cost of the bananas and she bought 1 apple for .80, so we add them together to get the total cost of the fruit, f.
4b + a = f Now substitute the values.
(4*.50) + .80 = f This is you expression, let's solve for fun.
(4*.50) + .80 = f
2 + .80 = f
$2.80 = f Sylvia spend $2.80 on the fruit.
