Question

write an expression that represents the cost of g pounds of grapes. remember, each pound of grapes costs 2 dollars. so, to find the cost of an unknown amount of grapes, you can multiply the price of one pound of grapes, 2 dollars, by the total pounds of grapes, g. use g to represent the number of pounds of grapes and s to represent the number of pounds of strawberries. grapes: $2 per pound strawberries: $3 per pound cost of g pounds of grapes + cost of s pounds of strawberries \boxed{} + ? 2g 3g 5g

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate cost of g grapes

Cost = Price per pound × Pounds = $2 \times g = 2g$

Step2: Calculate cost of s strawberries

Cost = Price per pound × Pounds = $3 \times s = 3s$

Step3: Combine total cost expression

Total cost = Cost of grapes + Cost of strawberries

Answer:

The expression for the cost of $g$ pounds of grapes is $\boldsymbol{2g}$, and the full total cost expression is $\boldsymbol{2g + 3s}$. The correct option for the cost of grapes is $\boldsymbol{2g}$.
