Customers can pick their own blueberries at blueberry hill. they pay$5 to enter the patch and $4 per pound for the blueberries they pick. write an equation to model the total cost, y, for x pounds of blueberries.

Y = total costs to get the berries

x = pounds of berries.



bearing in mind that the $5 is just to get in, so is only paid once, whilst the pounds of berry will vary.

50 % is the answer !

38+105= 143, 39+104=143, and you will find then adding the numbers on opposite sides, moving inwards yields the answer 138 every time. because of this, you’re going to multiply 138 times the number of pairs, which is 34. therefore, 34*138= 4692(i’m sorry if it’s the wrong numbers, but it’s the right concept)
