Let x be the number of bushels. Given that 1 bushel =42 pounds, then the expression to find the number of pounds is to multiply 42 pounds by the number of bushels:
42x
One tree can produce 6 bushels and there are 100 trees produced so the total number of bushels is:
x=6100=600
Using the expression above, we have 42(600)=25200 pounds of apples.
