A health food store makes trail mix using dried fruit and nuts. The cost of the dried fruit is $2.50 per pound, and the cost of the nuts is $2.00 per pound. The total cost to make the trail mix is $225. If the
total cost can be represented by the equation 2.52 + 2y = 225, what does the term 2.5x represent?
the total cost of the dried fruit
the number of pounds of dried fruit
the number of pounds of nuts
the total cost of the nuts

cost of dried fruit per pound=2.5 $/pound

cost of nuts per pound =2 $/pound

total cost=225$ =cost of dried fruit +total cost of nuts

To find the cost of dried fruit we need to multiply cost of dried fruit per pound and the number of bounds hence 2.5 x where x is the number of bounds

which is the total cost of dried fruit and consequently 2y is total cost of nuts where y is the weight of nuts in pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost of the mix is the sum of the cost for dried fruit and nuts.

Recognizing the first term has a coefficient of 2.5, which is the cost of the dried fruit per pound, the term 2.5x represent the total cost of the dried fruit, and x be the number of pound of dried fruit.
