The cost of peaches per pound is $1.30. Let's assume Charity can buy x pounds of peaches.
The total cost of the peaches she can buy is $6.50.
So, the equation to solve the problem is:
1.30 * x = 6.50
Set up an equation to solve the problem.
The total cost of the peaches she can buy is $6.50.
So, the equation to solve the problem is:
1.30 * x = 6.50
Budget per pound = $6.50 / x pounds
Since Charity has $6.50 to spend on peaches, the equation becomes:
$6.50 / x = $1.30
Now we can solve for x.
Let's represent the number of pounds of peaches Charity can buy as 'x'.
According to the problem, the cost of peaches is $1.30 per pound. So, the cost for x pounds of peaches can be calculated as 1.30x dollars.
Now, Charity has $6.50 to spend on peaches, so we can form the equation:
1.30x = 6.50
To solve this equation and find the value of x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 1.30:
(1.30x) / 1.30 = 6.50 / 1.30
Simplifying, we get:
x = 5
Therefore, Charity can buy 5 pounds of peaches with her $6.50.
