    Step-by-step explanation:

    $3x6=18 the six represents the apples and the 3 is the cost of each apple, 18 is the cost.

    $2x9=$18 the nine is the oranges and the two is the money spent on each one. The total would be $36 in total for all the fruit.

    So (9x2) + (3x6) = $36

    Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

    Susan needs to buy apples and oranges to make fruit salad.

    She needs 15 fruits in all.

    Let m represent the number of apples.

    Number of oranges = 15-m

    Apples cost $3 per piece, and oranges cost $2 per piece.

    Amount spent = $ (3m+2 (15-m))

    = $ (3m + 2*15 - 2m)

    = $ (m+30)

    If she bought 6 apples.

    i. e. m=6

    Amount spent = $ (6+30)

    = $ 36

    Hence,

    Expression that represents the amount Susan spent on the fruits is:

    m+30

    The amount Susan spent if she bought 6 apples is:

    $ 36
