Vicky bought 3 1/3 pounds of oranges. Each pound costs $3.90. Which of the following equations represents the total cos t, c Vicky paid for the oranges and the amount of money she spent? (1 point)
x/590 = 3.5 Vicky paid $1.11
3/3.8 = 0 Vicky paid $13.65
6/(4x) = 3.9 Vicky paid $13.65
3.9e - 3.5 Vicky paid $0.90.
The correct equation would be:
c = (3 1/3) * $3.90
To simplify, we can convert the mixed number (3 1/3) into an improper fraction:
c = (10/3) * $3.90
Now, multiply the numerator of the fraction with the cost per pound:
c = (10/3) * $3.90
c = $13.65
So, the equation that represents the total cost, c, Vicky paid for the oranges is:
c = $13.65
To find the total cost Vicky paid for the oranges, we need to multiply the weight of the oranges by the cost per pound.
Vicky bought 3 1/3 pounds of oranges, which can also be written as 10/3 pounds.
The cost per pound is $3.90.
To find the total cost, we multiply the weight of the oranges by the cost per pound:
Total cost = (10/3 pounds) * ($3.90/pound)
Simplifying the expression, we get:
Total cost = (10/3) * (3.90)
Total cost = 39/3
Total cost = $13.00
So, the correct equation representing the total cost Vicky paid for the oranges is:
6/(4x) = 3.9
To solve this problem, you need to calculate the total cost paid by Vicky for the oranges.
First, let's calculate the total weight of the oranges. Vicky bought 3 1/3 pounds of oranges, which can be written as 3 + 1/3 pounds or 10/3 pounds.
Next, let's calculate the total cost using the weight and the cost per pound. Each pound of oranges costs $3.90. So the total cost can be calculated by multiplying the weight (10/3 pounds) by the cost per pound ($3.90).
Total cost = (10/3) * $3.90
Simplifying the expression, we get:
Total cost = $13.65
So, Vicky paid $13.65 for the oranges.
Now, let's check which of the given equations represents the total cost paid by Vicky.
1. x/590 = 3.5 Vicky paid $1.11: This equation does not represent the correct total cost. The expression x/590 is unrelated to the problem.
2. 3/3.8 = 0 Vicky paid $13.65: This equation does not represent the correct total cost. The expression 3/3.8 does not reflect the weight or cost of the oranges.
3. 6/(4x) = 3.9 Vicky paid $13.65: This equation does not represent the correct total cost. The expression 6/(4x) is unrelated to the problem.
4. 3.9e - 3.5 Vicky paid $0.90: This equation does not represent the correct total cost. The expression 3.9e - 3.5 is unrelated to the problem and gives a result of $0.40, not $13.65.
Therefore, none of the given equations represent the correct total cost paid by Vicky for the oranges.
