To find the total amount Samuel spent at the market on both days, we can break down the purchases he made.
First Day:
- Apples: 3 pounds at \( x \) dollars per pound = \( 3x \)
- Spinach: 2 bags at \( y \) dollars each = \( 2y \)
Total spent on the first day: \[ 3x + 2y \]
Second Day:
- Apples: 5 pounds at \( x \) dollars per pound = \( 5x \)
- Spinach: 3 bags at \( y \) dollars each = \( 3y \)
Total spent on the second day: \[ 5x + 3y \]
Total Amount Spent: Now, we combine the amounts spent on both days: \[ (3x + 2y) + (5x + 3y) = 3x + 5x + 2y + 3y = 8x + 5y \]
None of the provided options match \( 8x + 5y \), but ensure the calculations were done correctly in the problem.
The correct expression representing the total amount he spent at the market on both days is: \[ 8x + 5y \]
