To find the total cost \( c \) of buying 5 slices of pizza, where each slice costs $1.95, you can use the equation:
\[
c = 5 \times 1.95
\]
This can be simplified into the form:
\[
c = 1.95 \times 5
\]
However, none of the options provided reflect this exact equation. But you can rearrange it into a different form:
If you multiply both sides of the equation \( c = 5 \times 1.95 \) by the reciprocal of 1.95:
\[
\frac{c}{1.95} = 5
\]
This is equivalent to \( 1.95c = 5 \) if we move \( 1.95 \) to the left side.
So, the appropriate equation from the options provided is:
\[
1.95c = 5
\]
Thus, the correct response from the options you provided is "1.95c = 5".
\[
c = 5 \times 1.95
