PART A
 First we define the variables:
 x: number of pounds in the bag
 y: number of pounds of oats
 The equation to find the number of pounds of oats in the bag is:
 y = (20/100) x
 Simplifying:
 y = (1/5) x
 (1/5): Represents that 20% of the weight of the bag is oatmeal.
 Answer:
 y = (1/5) x

 PART B
 Using the equation of part A, we have:
 y = (1/5) (2)
 y = 0.4 lb
 Answer:
 0.4 lb corresponds to the oat weight of the 2 lb that the bag weighs
