To find the total cost find the cost of apples and 2 bags of lettuce then add both the amounts.
The computation can be done by using the applications of creating simple mathematical equations using the given information in the statement.
The cost of apples is;
[tex]\rm= 2.5 \times x\\\\=2.5x[/tex]
The cost of lettuce is;
[tex]\rm = 2\times y\\\\= 2y[/tex]
Therefore,
The expressions that would represent his total cost is;
[tex]= \rm Cost \ of \ apple + Cost \ of \ lettuce\\\\= 2.5x+2y[/tex]
Hence, the expressions that would represent his total cost are [tex]\rm 2.5x+2y[/tex].
