Abigail has $30.00 to buy groceries. she needs to buy some apples, some bananas, and 3 pounds of potatoes. Fuji apples are $1.79 a pound ,bananas are$0.36 each, and potatoes are 2.99 for a 3 lb bag. If a represents the number of pounds of apples Abigail buys b represents the number of bananas she buys, which expression represents the amount of change she receives after her purchases?

An expression represents the amount of change she receives after her purchases is y=-1.79a-0.36b+27.01

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represents the number of pounds of apples

Let b represents the number of bananas

Cost of 1 pound apple = $1.79

So, Cost of a pounds apples = 1.79 a

Cost of 1 banana = $0.36

Cost of b bananas = 0.36b

Cost of 3 lb bag of potato i.e. 3 pounds of potato = $2.99

So, Total cost = 1.79a+0.36b+2.99

Abigail has $30.00 to buy groceries

Let y be the change received by her

So, Change received by her:

y = 30-( 1.79a+0.36b+2.99)

y= 30-1.79a-0.36b-2.99

y=-1.79a-0.36b+27.01

Hence  expression represents the amount of change she receives after her purchases is y=-1.79a-0.36b+27.01
