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

Question

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:

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.
