Vicky bought 3 1/2 pounds of oranges. Each pound costs $3.90. Which of the following equations represents the total cost, c , Vicky paid for the oranges and the amount of money she spent?(1 point)
Responses
c/3.90=3.5; Vicky paid $1.11.
Start Fraction c over 3.90 End Fraction equals 3.5 ; Vicky paid $1.11.
c/3.5=3.90; Vicky paid $13.65.
Start Fraction c over 3.5 End Fraction equals 3.90 ; Vicky paid $13.65.
3.90c=3.5; Vicky paid $0.90.
3.90 c equals 3.5 ; Vicky paid $0.90.
3.90/3.5=c; Vicky paid $13.65.
3.90/3.5 = c; Vicky paid $13.65.
The correct equation representing the total cost, c, Vicky paid for the oranges is:
Start Fraction c over 3.90 End Fraction equals 3.5 ; Vicky paid $1.11.
To find the total cost Vicky paid for the oranges, multiply the pounds of oranges by the cost per pound.
In this case, Vicky bought 3 1/2 pounds of oranges, which can be written as 3.5 pounds.
And the cost per pound is $3.90.
So, the total cost, c, can be represented by the equation:
c = 3.5 * 3.90
Now let's calculate the total cost:
c = 13.65
Therefore, the correct equation representing the total cost Vicky paid for the oranges is:
Start Fraction c over 3.5 End Fraction equals 3.90 ; Vicky paid $13.65.
So option B is the correct choice.
