The equation y = 4.2x could represent a variety of different situations. Write a description of a situation represented by this equation. Decide what quantities x and y represent in your situation and let us know what

they are

Answer and explanation:

The equation y=4.2x can be represented by a situation such as the total price of a number of goods

For example, if the total price of chocolate candies purchased from a store is given by the equation

y=4.2x

Such that the price per chocolate candy is $4.2 and x number of chocolate candies are bought, total price of chocolate candies bought is y

If 6 chocolate candies are bought, total price y using the equation would be

y=4.2 *6= $25.2
