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.
3.90c=3.5; Vicky paid $0.90.
3.90 c equals 3.5 ; Vicky paid $0.90.
3.903.5=c; Vicky paid $13.65.
3.90c = 312; Vicky paid $1216.80.
The correct equation that represents the total cost, c, Vicky paid for the oranges is:
c = 3.90 * 312
So the correct answer is:
3.90c = 3.5; Vicky paid $0.90.
To find the total cost (c) that Vicky paid for the oranges, you need to multiply the number of pounds (312) by the cost per pound ($3.90). The correct equation representing the total cost is c = 312 * 3.90.
Now let's solve this equation to find out the value of c:
c = 312 * 3.90
c = 1216.80
So the correct equation is 3.90c = 1216.80, which means Vicky paid $1216.80 for the oranges.
Therefore, the correct option is 3.90c = 3.5; Vicky paid $1216.80.
