regents review question

1. the cost of one pound of grapes, g, is 15 cents more than one pound of apples, a. the cost of one pound of bananas, b, is twice as much as one pound of grapes.

a. write an equation for the cost of one pound of grapes in terms of the cost of one pound of apples.

Explanation:

Step1: Define variables

Let \( a \) be the cost of one pound of apples, \( g \) be the cost of one pound of grapes.

Step2: Translate the description

The cost of one pound of grapes, \( g \), is 15 cents more than one pound of apples. So we can write the equation as \( g = a + 15 \) (assuming the cost is in cents, or we can use a general monetary unit, and the "15" represents 15 units of that currency).

Answer:

\( g = a + 15 \)
