Answer 1

To find out how many pounds of peaches Charity can buy, you need to set up an equation based on the cost per pound and the total amount of money she has. The cost per pound is $1.30, and she has $6.50 to spend.

Let \( x \) be the number of pounds of peaches she can buy. The equation representing the situation is:

\[ 1.30x = 6.50 \]

So the correct answer is:

A. \( 1.30x = 6.50 \)
