Question

Vicky bought 3 1/2 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?

Answer 1

The equation that represents the total cost, c, that Vicky paid for the oranges and the amount of money she spent is:

c = (3 1/2) * ($3.90)

In this equation, (3 1/2) represents the number of pounds of oranges Vicky bought, and ($3.90) represents the cost of each pound of oranges. Multiplying these two values gives us the total cost.
