1. **Problem statement:** We are given combinations of pounds of tilapia and salmon that a market can order. We want to find five different combinations, define variables and an equation relating the amounts and cost, and plot these combinations on a graph.
2. **Variables and equation:**
Let $x$ = pounds of tilapia
Let $y$ = pounds of salmon
Assuming the market spends a total amount $S$ on fish, and the prices per pound are $p_t$ for tilapia and $p_s$ for salmon, the relationship is:
$$S = p_t x + p_s y$$
3. **Five different combinations:** From the table, five combinations (x, y) are:
- A: (5, 36)
- B: (19, 30.6)
- C: (27, 25)
- D: (25, 27)
- E: (65, 6)
4. **Graphing:**
- Horizontal axis ($x$): pounds of tilapia
- Vertical axis ($y$): pounds of salmon
Plot points A through F:
- A (5, 36)
- B (19, 30.6)
- C (27, 25)
- D (25, 27)
- E (65, 6)
- F (55, 4)
Each point represents a combination of tilapia and salmon pounds.
Since prices are not given, the exact spending equation cannot be numerically specified, but the general form is $S = p_t x + p_s y$.
This completes the solution for the first question.
