Question

A local pizza shop is selling pizza by the slice. Each slice costs $1.95. Which equation represents the total cost, c
, of buying 5 slices? (1 point)
Responses

5c = 1.95
5 c equals 1.95

c/1.95 = 5
Start Fraction c over 1.95 End Fraction equals 5

c − 1.95 = 5
c minus 1.95 equals 5

1.95c = 5

Answer 1

To find the total cost \( c \) of buying 5 slices of pizza at $1.95 per slice, you can set up the equation based on the cost per slice multiplied by the number of slices.

The correct equation is:

\[
c = 5 \times 1.95
\]

However, since we want to express this in terms of \( c \), we can rearrange the equation to reflect that:

\[
c = 1.95 \times 5
\]

If we multiply it out, it becomes:

\[
c = 9.75
\]

But if we look at the options provided, the equation that correctly represents the total cost \( c \) for 5 slices is:

\[
1.95c = 5
\]

So the correct choice is:

1.95c = 5
