Question 924527: Peaches are being sold for $2 per pound. If x represents the number of pounds of peaches bought and y represents the total cost of the peaches, which best describes the values of x and y?
The values of both x and y can be any real number.
The values of both x and y will be real numbers greater than or equal to 0.
The value of x can be any real number, but the value of y will always be a real number greater than or equal to 0.
The value of x can be any real number greater than or equal to 0, but the value of y must be an integer greater than or equal to 0.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x, pounds of peaches and y, cost of the pounds of peaches, will both be real numbers, PREFERABLY positive integers, greater than or equal to zero. Helpful and makes sense?

You may wish to decide if a fraction of a pound between whole values is permitted.
