Responses
A. $2.69 + $3.19 = $18.78
B. $2(2) + $2.69 + $3.19 = $18.78
C. $2(2) + $3.19 = $18.78
D. $2(2) + $2.69 + $3.19 + $x = $18.78
The correct equation to find the cost of the grapes per pound is:
D. $2(2) + $2.69 + $3.19 + $x = $18.78
In this equation, $x represents the cost of the grapes per pound. By subtracting the cost of the other items from the total, we can solve for the cost of the grapes per pound.
