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? Set up an equation to solve the problem. A. 1.30x=6.50 B. 1.30+x=6.50 C. 1.30/6.50=x D. 6.50x=1.30
The correct equation to solve this problem is A. 1.30x = 6.50. This is because the cost per pound ($1.30) multiplied by the number of pounds bought (x) should equal the total amount spent on peaches ($6.50).
