To model the cost, \( c \), of each bag of lemons, we can use the equation:
\[ c = \frac{19.75}{5} \]
This equation states that the cost per bag of lemons is equal to the total cost of the bags divided by the number of bags.

what will the eqation look like
The equation that models the cost per bag of lemons, denoted as \( c \), will look like this:
\[ c = \frac{19.75}{5} \]
You can also express it as:
\[ c = 3.95 \]
So the cost of each bag of lemons is $3.95.
If you want to express this in a more general form that still represents the relationship, you could write:
\[ c = \frac{t}{n} \]
where \( t \) is the total cost ($19.75) and \( n \) is the number of bags (5). In this specific case, it would be:
\[ c = \frac{19.75}{5} \]
