    Let y represent the original price of potatoes per pound

    Since he purchased the potatoes at 40% off the original price, this can represented as y * (1-0.4)

    Now the weight of potatoes he purchased is x pounds, the total cost of these potatoes can be represented as x*y * (1-0.4)

    The total amount of money he had is $10

    The amount of money left over can be represented by the expression =

    10 - x*y * (1-0.4)

    where "x" is the weight of potatoes in pounds and "y" is the original price per pound of potatoes
