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?(1 point)
Responses
c/3.90=3.5; Vicky paid $1.11.
Start Fraction c over 3.90 End Fraction equals 3.5 ; Vicky paid $1.11.
3.90c=3.5; Vicky paid $0.90.
3.90 c equals 3.5 ; Vicky paid $0.90.
3.90/3.5=c; Vicky paid $13.65.
Start Fraction 3.90 over 3.5 End Fraction equals c ; Vicky paid $13.65.
c/3.5=3.90; Vicky paid $13.65.
c = 3.90 * 3.5; Vicky paid $13.65.
The correct equation that represents the total cost, c, Vicky paid for the oranges and the amount of money she spent is:
3.90c = 3.5
This equation states that the cost per pound (3.90) multiplied by the number of pounds (c) equals the total cost for the oranges (3.5).
The correct equation that represents the total cost, c, Vicky paid for the oranges and the amount of money she spent is:
c = 3.5 * 3.90
To get the total cost, we need to multiply the weight of the oranges (3.5 pounds) by the cost per pound ($3.90). This will give us the final amount Vicky paid for the oranges.
Simplifying the equation:
c = 13.65
Therefore, Vicky paid $13.65 for the oranges.
