Julio is making lemonade to be sold at a fair. He bought 5 bags of lemons for $19.75

. Complete the equation that models the cost, c
, of each bag of lemons.

3 answers

To find the cost, \( c \), of each bag of lemons, you can divide the total cost by the number of bags. The equation can be expressed as follows:

\[ c = \frac{19.75}{5} \]

So, the completed equation that models the cost of each bag of lemons is:

\[ c = \frac{19.75}{5} \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ c = 3.95 \]

Thus, each bag of lemons costs $3.95.

The SPECIFIC answer to this question is 5c = 19.75

Thank you for your clarification! Yes, you are correct. The equation that models the total cost of the lemons based on the cost per bag, \( c \), and the number of bags (5) is:

\[ 5c = 19.75 \]

This equation states that the total cost of 5 bags of lemons (5 times the cost per bag, \( c \)) equals $19.75. Thank you for pointing that out!
