c3.90=3.5; Vicky paid $1.11.
Start Fraction c over 3.90 End Fraction equals 3.5 ; Vicky paid $1.11.
c3.5=3.90; Vicky paid $13.65.
Start Fraction c over 3.5 End Fraction equals 3.90 ; Vicky paid $13.65.
3.903.5=c; Vicky paid $13.65.
Start Fraction 3.90 over 3.5 End Fraction equals c ; Vicky paid $13.65.
3.90c=3.5; Vicky paid $0.90.
3.90c=3.5; Vicky paid $0.90.
The correct equation would be:
c = 3.5 * 3.90
c = $13.65
So, the correct statement is:
c = 3.5 * 3.90; Vicky paid $13.65.
To find the total cost, c, Vicky paid for the oranges, you need to multiply the pounds of oranges (3 1/2) by the cost per pound ($3.90). The correct equation to represent this is:
c = 3.5 * 3.90
Simplifying the equation further:
c = 13.65
So, Vicky paid $13.65 for the oranges.
Therefore, the correct equation is:
3.5 * 3.90 = c ; Vicky paid $13.65.
