Math Problem Statement
Leah owns an apple orchard and allows customers to walk the orchard and pick their own apples.
Leah charges $30 for a bushel of self-picked apples. She knows that a typical bushel of the apples from her orchard weighs about 19 kilograms and wants to make sure she doesn’t overcharge or undercharge people, so she weighs each bushel before allowing it to be purchased.
What does the equation |19−x|=2 represent in this scenario? A.A bushel of apples that a customer purchases from Leah should be 19+2 kilograms. B.The maximum difference between 2 kilograms and the weight of a bushel of apples Leah sells should be 19 kilograms. C.If a bushel of apples weighs less than 19 kilograms, Leah grants a 2 -dollar discount. D.The maximum difference between 19 kilograms and the weight of a bushel of apples Leah sells should be 2 kilograms.
