Lee charges $3 for a basket and $2.50 for each pound of fruit picked at the orchard. Write an equation in y = mx + b form for the total cost of x pounds of fruit from the orchard.

• y = 3x + 2.5

• y = 2.50x + 3

• y = 2.50x 

• y = 3x + 2.50

For lunch, Amanda had a hamburger and some potato chips. The hamburger totaled 325 calories and each chip had 12 calories. Write a liner equation to represent the situation.

• y = 12 + 325

• y = 12x  + 325

• y = 325 - 12x

• y = 325x + 12
