Question

Vicky bought 312%0D%0A3%0D%0A1%0D%0A2%0D%0A pounds of oranges. Each pound costs $3.90. Which of the following equations represents the total cost, c%0D%0A𝑐%0D%0A, Vicky paid for the oranges and the amount of money she spent?

Answer 1

To find the total cost \( c \) that Vicky paid for the oranges, we 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. Thus, we can substitute these values into the equation:

\[
c = 3.90 \times 312
\]

Therefore, the equation representing the total cost \( c \) that Vicky spent on the oranges is:

\[
c = 3.90 \times 312
\]

You can calculate \( c \) by multiplying the two values to find out the total amount she spent on the oranges.

Answer 2

how much did they pay

Answer 3

To find out how much Vicky paid for the 312 pounds of oranges, we can calculate it using the equation:

\[
c = 3.90 \times 312
\]

Now, performing the multiplication:

\[
c = 3.90 \times 312 = 1,214.80
\]

Thus, Vicky paid **$1,214.80** for the oranges.
