To calculate the total amount Samuel spent at the market on both days, let's break down his purchases:
-
On the first day:
- He bought 1 pound of apples for \(x\) dollars per pound: \(1 \times x = x\)
- He bought 3 bags of spinach for \(y\) dollars each: \(3 \times y = 3y\)
- Total spent on the first day: \(x + 3y\)
-
On the second day:
- He bought 6 pounds of apples for \(x\) dollars per pound: \(6 \times x = 6x\)
- He bought 2 bags of spinach for \(y\) dollars each: \(2 \times y = 2y\)
- Total spent on the second day: \(6x + 2y\)
Now, let's add both amounts to find the total he spent on both days:
\[ \text{Total} = (x + 3y) + (6x + 2y) = x + 6x + 3y + 2y = 7x + 5y \]
Thus, the expression that represents the total amount he spent at the market on both days is:
7x + 5y
