Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: 10 pounds of cabbage cost $4.00

Step-by-step explanation:

If  x  represents the number of pounds of cabbage and  y  represents the price in dollars,

then  (5, 2)  means that  5  pounds of cabbage costs  $2.00.

 

If that is true, then  1  pound of cabbage will cost  $0.40.     (divide both values by 5)

 

The ordered pair  (10, 4)  means that  10  pounds of cabbage cost  $4.00.
