Question

Responses

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.
Start Fraction c over 3.5 End Fraction equals 3.90 ; Vicky paid $13.65.

3.903.5=c; Vicky paid $13.65.
Start Fraction 3.90 over 3.5 End Fraction equals c ; Vicky paid $13.65.

c3.90=3.5; Vicky paid $1.11.

Answer 1

To find the total cost \( c \) Vicky paid for the oranges, you can use the following equation:

\[ c = \text{(cost per pound)} \times \text{(number of pounds)} \]

In this case, Vicky bought 312 pounds of oranges, and each pound costs $3.90. Therefore, the equation representing the total cost \( c \) is:

\[ c = 3.90 \times 312 \]

Now, calculating this:

\[ c = 3.90 \times 312 = 1218.8 \]

The total amount Vicky spent on oranges is $1218.80.

Given the options you provided, none of them correctly represent the relationship for the total cost of the oranges. However, the correct equation would not be represented in your choices.

For clarity, the appropriate equation representing the total cost is:

\[ c = 3.90 \times 312 \]

So, none of the response options is correct regarding representing the amount she spent correctly.
