10.40 - 1.29= 3.95x, Ryan bought 6.45 pounds of apples
10.40 - 1.29= 3.95x, Ryan bought 6.45 pounds of apples
1.29x + 3.95= 10.40, Ryan bought 5 pounds of apples
1.29x + 3.95= 10.40, Ryan bought 5 pounds of apples
3.95 - 1.29x= 10.40, Ryan bought 5.16 pounds of apples
3.95 - 1.29x= 10.40, Ryan bought 5.16 pounds of apples
3.95 + 1.29x=10.40, Ryan bought 4 pounds of apples
The correct setup and solution is:
1.29x + 3.95 = 10.40, where x represents the number of pounds of apples Ryan bought.
Solving this equation:
1.29x = 10.40 - 3.95
1.29x = 6.45
x = 6.45/1.29
x = 5
Therefore, Ryan bought 5 pounds of apples.
To solve this problem, we need to set up an equation using the information given. Let's use the variable x to represent the number of pounds of apples that Ryan bought.
The cost of the loaf of bread is $3.95, so we subtract this from the total amount spent: $10.40 - $3.95 = $6.45.
The cost of the apples is $1.29 per pound, so we can multiply this by the number of pounds to get the total cost of the apples: $1.29x.
We can now set up the equation: $6.45 = $1.29x.
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by $1.29: x = $6.45 ÷ $1.29.
Simplifying this, we find that x = 5. Therefore, Ryan bought 5 pounds of apples.
So the correct response is: 1.29x + 3.95 = 10.40, Ryan bought 5 pounds of apples.
The correct set up of the problem is:
1.29x + 3.95 = 10.40, where x represents the number of pounds of apples Ryan bought.
To solve this equation for x, we can rearrange it as follows:
1.29x = 10.40 - 3.95
1.29x = 6.45
Dividing both sides by 1.29 gives us:
x = 6.45/1.29
x ≈ 5
Therefore, Ryan bought approximately 5 pounds of apples.
