Answer:c=30-2.99-1.79a-0.36b
c=-1.17a-0.36b+27.01
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression that best describes her change may be found by constructing the mathematical equation that describes the situation.
Since a represents the number of apples, b represents the number of bananas, we let c represent her change. Hence,
30=1.79a+0.36b+2.99+c
rearranging the terms to solve for c,
c=30-2.99-1.79a-0.36b
c=-1.17a-0.36b+27.01
