Question

At a farmers market, Samuel bought 3 pounds of apples for%C2%A0x%C2%A0dollars per pound and 2 bags of spinach for%C2%A0y%C2%A0dollars each. The next day he returned and bought 5 pounds of apples for%C2%A0x%C2%A0dollars per pound and 3 bags of spinach for%C2%A0y%C2%A0dollars each. Which expression represents the total amount he spent at the market on both days?(1 point) Responses 8y+5x 8 y plus 5 x 6x+7y 6 x plus 7 y 6y+7x 6 y plus 7 x 8x+5y

Answer 1

To find the total amount Samuel spent at the market on both days, we can break down his purchases each day:

**Day 1:**
- Apples: 3 pounds at \(x\) dollars per pound = \(3x\) dollars
- Spinach: 2 bags at \(y\) dollars each = \(2y\) dollars

Total spent on Day 1:
\[
3x + 2y
\]

**Day 2:**
- Apples: 5 pounds at \(x\) dollars per pound = \(5x\) dollars
- Spinach: 3 bags at \(y\) dollars each = \(3y\) dollars

Total spent on Day 2:
\[
5x + 3y
\]

Now, we combine the total from both days:
\[
(3x + 2y) + (5x + 3y) = 3x + 5x + 2y + 3y = 8x + 5y
\]

Therefore, the expression that represents the total amount he spent at the market on both days is:
\[
\boxed{8x + 5y}
\]
