Question

Apples at the local farmer's market cost $1.25 per 0 pound.



Write a function rule`f` that gives the total cost of apples in terms of the number of pounds, `x`

Answer 1

To create a function that calculates the total cost of apples based on the number of pounds, we can use the given price of $1.25 per pound.

The function `f` can be defined as follows:

```python
def f(x):
return 1.25 * x
```

In this function:
- `x` represents the number of pounds of apples.
- The function multiplies the number of pounds `x` by the price per pound ($1.25) to calculate the total cost.

You can use this function by passing the number of pounds as an argument to `f`. For example, `f(2)` would return the total cost for 2 pounds of apples, which would be $2.50.
