Julio is making lemonade to be sold at a fair. He bought 5 bags of lemons for
$19.75
. Complete the equation that models the cost, , of each bag of lemons.(1 point)
5x = 19.75
The equation that models the cost, x, of each bag of lemons is:
x = 19.75 / 5
Simplifying the equation, we divide the total cost by the number of bags:
x = 3.95
Therefore, each bag of lemons costs $3.95.
To find the cost of each bag of lemons, we need to set up an equation using the information given.
Let's assume the cost of each bag of lemons is represented by the variable x.
We know that Julio bought 5 bags of lemons for a total cost of $19.75.
So, we can set up the equation:
5x = 19.75
This equation represents that the total price of 5 bags of lemons (5x) is equal to $19.75.
To solve this equation for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 5:
5x/5 = 19.75/5
x = 3.95
Therefore, the cost of each bag of lemons, represented by x, is $3.95.
