Answer:
The expression is given below as
[tex]7.99m+5.99c[/tex]
Where,
The total pounds of meat is
[tex]=m[/tex]
The total pounds of cheese is
[tex]=c[/tex]
from the relation above,
[tex]\begin{gathered} m\text{ pounds of meat cost = 7.99m} \\ 1\text{ pound of meat will cost=x} \\ \frac{m\times x}{m}=\frac{7.99m}{m} \\ x=7.99 \end{gathered}[/tex]
From the relation above,
[tex]\begin{gathered} c\text{ pounds of ch}eese\text{ cost = 5.99c} \\ 1\text{ pound of chesse will cost = y} \\ \frac{c\times y}{c}=\frac{5.99c\times1}{c} \\ y=5.99 \end{gathered}[/tex]
To figure out the cost of 2 pounds of meat and 3 pounds of cheese, we will substitute the values below
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=2,c=3 \\ 7.99m+5.99c \\ 7.99(2)+5.99(3) \\ =15.98+17.97 \\ =33.95 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence,
The options that are TRUE are OPTION A, OPTION B, and OPTION E
