George is buying watermelon and pineapples to make fruit salad. He buys w watermelon at 4.49 each and p pineapples at $5 each. What does the expression 4.49w+ 5p represents?
W represents the number of watermelons bought P represents the number pineapples bought
The expression shows the total cost of both of fruits bought. If $4.49 is the cost for one watermelon, and $5 is the cost of one pineapple, the equation to find the cost becomes
4.49 represents the price that you have to pay for each watermelon.W represents watermelons.5 represents the Price you have to pay for each pineapple. P represents pineapples. And if you add 4.49w and 5p together you get the price you have to pay.Hope that was helpful.
