c3.90=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.
c3.5=3.90; Vicky paid $13.65.

$13.65.
The correct equation is c = 3.90 * 312, which simplifies to c = $1,216.80. Vicky paid $1,216.80 for the oranges.
$13.65.
To find the total cost, we need to multiply the number of pounds (312) by the cost per pound ($3.90).
So the correct equation is: c = 312 * 3.90.
Simplifying this equation, we get c = 1216.80.
Therefore, Vicky paid $1216.80 for the oranges. None of the given options match this equation, so none of the responses are correct.
