Answer:
Cost price of buying p pounds of oranges and apples.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost price is the total amount incurred in procuring a particular commodity. It is usually calculated by taking the cost of each product and the number of products bought.
In this problem;
Cost price of Oranges = Number of pounds of oranges x cost per pound of orange
Cost price of Oranges = p x $2.29 = $2.29p
Cost price of Apples = Number of pounds of Apples x cost per pound of apples
Cost price of Apples = p x $1.69 = $1.69p
The total cost of purchasing orange + apples = 2.29p + 1.69p
So, 2.29p + 1.69p represents the total cost of purchasing apples and oranges.
