, Vicky paid for the oranges and the amount of money she spent?(1 point)
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 \( c \) that Vicky paid for the oranges, we can use the equation:

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

In this case, the cost per pound is $3.90 and the number of pounds is 312. Therefore, the equation can be represented as:

\[ c = 3.90 \times 312 \]

Calculating \( c \):

\[ c = 3.90 \times 312 = 1219.80 \]

Vicky paid $1219.80 in total for the oranges.

However, none of the given responses directly represent the correct relationship between the variables given the context provided. The correct equation should be:

\[ c = 3.90 \times 312 \]

If you need to choose the closest option, none of them accurately represent the total cost \( c \) based on the information given. Please check the options again, or perhaps there was a misunderstanding in the terms of the problem.
