Vicky brought 31/2 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

To find the total cost, we need to multiply the pounds of oranges by the cost per pound.

Let x be the pounds of oranges.
The total cost is 3.90 * x.
Since Vicky brought 31/2 pounds of oranges, we can write this as 3.90 * (31/2).
Simplifying, we have 3.90 * 31/2 = 120.45/2 = 60.225.

Therefore, the equation that represents the total cost, c, Vicky paid for the oranges is c = 60.225.
