1. Find the total amount spent on apples in terms of $x$.

Amount spent = $5x−$2x=$3x\char36{}5x - \char36{}2x = \char36{}3x

2. Convert the cost of one apple to dollars and find the number of apples bought.

Cost of one apple = 60c=$0.6060\text{c} = \char36{}0.60
Number of apples = 3x0.60=3x3/5=5x\frac{3x}{0.60} = \frac{3x}{3/5} = 5x

Answer

5x5x
