Vicky bought 3 pounds of oranges. Each pound costs $3.90. Which of the following
equations represents the total cost, c, Vicky paid for the oranges and the amount of money
she spent? (1 point)

3.5; Vicky paid $1.11.
3.90 = c; Vicky paid $13.65.
3.5
35= 3.90; Vicky paid $13.65.
The correct equation is: 3.90c = 3.5; Vicky paid $13.65.
The correct equation that represents the total cost, c, Vicky paid for the oranges is:
c = 3.90 * 3 = $11.70
Therefore, none of the given equations accurately represents the total cost Vicky paid for the oranges.
To find the total cost Vicky paid for the oranges, we need to multiply the number of pounds she bought (3 pounds) by the cost per pound ($3.90).
So, the equation that represents the total cost, c, is:
c = 3 pounds * $3.90/pound
Simplifying this equation gives us:
c = $11.70
Therefore, the correct equation is:
3.90c = 11.70
None of the options provided match this equation:
- 3.90c 3.5; Vicky paid $0.90.
- 3.90 = = 3.5; Vicky paid $1.11.
- 3.90 = c; Vicky paid $13.65.
- 3.5 35= 3.90; Vicky paid $13.65.
So, none of the options represent the correct total cost that Vicky paid.
