Question

The cost of watermelon is y = 3.45x.
What is the cost for 1 watermelon?
What does x represent?

What does y represent?

Answer 1

In the equation \( y = 3.45x \):

- \( x \) represents the number of watermelons.
- \( y \) represents the total cost in dollars.

To find the cost for 1 watermelon, you would substitute \( x = 1 \) into the equation:

\[
y = 3.45 \times 1 = 3.45
\]

Thus, the cost for 1 watermelon is **$3.45**.
