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.
Start Fraction 3.90 over 3.5 End Fraction equals c ; Vicky paid $13.65.
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.
The correct equation is 3.90c = 3.5. Vicky paid $13.65.
The correct equation is 3.90c = 3.5. Vicky paid $13.65.
The equation that represents the total cost, c, Vicky paid for the oranges is 3.90c = 3.5. This equation can be obtained by multiplying the cost per pound, $3.90, by the total weight of the oranges, 3 1/2 pounds (which is equivalent to 3.5 pounds). Simplifying this equation, you would then have 3.90 times c equals 3.5, indicating that the cost of the oranges is equal to 3.5 times the cost per pound. Therefore, Vicky paid $0.90 for the oranges.
So, the correct answer is: 3.90c = 3.5; Vicky paid $0.90.
