Julio is making lemonade to be sold at a fair. He bought 5 bags of lemons for $19.75 . Complete the equation that models the cost, c , of each bag of lemons.(1 point)

1 answer

To model the cost, \( c \), of each bag of lemons, you can set up the equation based on the total cost of the lemons. If Julio bought 5 bags of lemons for a total of $19.75, the equation can be written as:

\[ 5c = 19.75 \]

To find the cost of each bag of lemons (\( c \)), you can solve for \( c \) by dividing both sides of the equation by 5:

\[ c = \frac{19.75}{5} \]

So the completed equation that models the cost of each bag of lemons is:

\[ 5c = 19.75 \]
