The relationship between the number of bags of apples, \( x \), and the total number of apples, \( y \), can be expressed with the equation:
\[
y = 5x
\]
In this equation, \( y \) represents the total number of apples, and \( x \) represents the number of bags. Since each bag contains five apples, multiplying the number of bags \( x \) by 5 gives the total number of apples \( y \).
\[
y = 5x
\]
In this equation, \( y \) represents the total number of apples, and \( x \) represents the number of bags. Since each bag contains five apples, multiplying the number of bags \( x \) by 5 gives the total number of apples \( y \).
