Question

pounds of oranges. Each pound costs $3.90. Which of the following equations represents the total cost, c
, Vicky paid for the oranges and the amount of money she spent?(1 point)
Responses

c3.90=3.5
; Vicky paid $1.11.
Start Fraction c over 3.90 End Fraction equals 3.5 ; Vicky paid $1.11.

3.90c=3.5
; Vicky paid $0.90.
3.90 c equals 3.5 ; Vicky paid $0.90.

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

c3.5=3.90
; Vicky paid $13.65.

Answer 1

To determine the total cost, \( c \), that Vicky paid for the oranges, you can use the equation that reflects the relationship between the cost per pound, the weight in pounds, and the total cost.

If Vicky bought 3.5 pounds of oranges at a price of $3.90 per pound, the correct equation can be written as:

\[ c = 3.90 \times 3.5 \]

This can be rearranged to the form:

\[ 3.90 \times 3.5 = c \]

Now, let's calculate the total cost:

\[ 3.90 \times 3.5 = 13.65 \]

Therefore, the statement of the total cost is that \( c = 13.65 \).

The equation that correctly represents the total cost is:

\[ 3.90 \times 3.5 = c; \text{ Vicky paid } $13.65. \]

So, the correct response from your choices would be:

\[ 3.903.5 = c; \text{ Vicky paid } $13.65. \]

Answer 2

c3.90=3.5
; Vicky paid $1.11.
Start Fraction c over 3.90 End Fraction equals 3.5 ; Vicky paid $1.11.

3.90c=3.5
; Vicky paid $0.90.
3.90 c equals 3.5 ; Vicky paid $0.90.

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

c3.5=3.90
; Vicky paid $13.65.

Answer 3

Based on the problem, Vicky bought 3.5 pounds of oranges at a cost of $3.90 per pound. The total cost \( c \) can be calculated using the formula \( c = \text{(price per pound)} \times \text{(weight in pounds)} \).

So the correct equation is:

\[ c = 3.90 \times 3.5 \]

When calculated:

\[ 3.90 \times 3.5 = 13.65 \]

Thus, the correct expression in the context of your options would be:

\[ 3.903.5 = c; \text{ Vicky paid } $13.65. \]

Therefore, the answer would be the one that matches the equation \( 3.903.5 = c \) and states that Vicky paid $13.65.

The other equation choices you provided are either incorrect or not relevant to the calculation of the total cost for the oranges.
