Set up an equation to solve the problem.
Charity is buying peaches at the store. The cost of the peaches are $1.30 per pound. If she has $6.50 to spend on peaches, how many pounds (x) can she buy?
1.30x = 6.50
To set up an equation, we'll let "x" represent the number of pounds of peaches that Charity can buy.
Since the cost of the peaches is $1.30 per pound, the total cost of x pounds of peaches would be 1.30 * x.
We know that Charity has $6.50 to spend on peaches, so we can write the equation:
1.30 * x = 6.50
This equation represents the relationship between the number of pounds of peaches (x) and the cost of those peaches.
To solve this problem, we can set up an equation using the given information. Let's create an equation to find the number of pounds of peaches Charity can buy.
The cost of peaches per pound is $1.30, and she has $6.50 to spend. Let's assume that Charity can buy x pounds of peaches.
The equation can be expressed as:
1.30 * x = 6.50
In this equation, 1.30 represents the cost of peaches per pound, and x represents the unknown number of pounds she can buy.
By solving this equation, we can find the value of x, which will give us the number of pounds Charity can buy.
