<h2>Answer:y=12+2.25x,$23.25</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that $ $12$ is charged for admission.

It is given that $ $2.25$ is charged for each pound of peaches picked.

So,cost for $x$ peaches is $2.25x$

The total cost of admission and picking $x$ peaches is $12+2.25x$

When $x=5$ ,

total cost is $12+2.25(5)=12+11.25=23.25$

So,it costs $ $23.25$ for admission and picking $5$ peaches.
