Question

Set up an equation to solve the problem.
A.
1.30x=6.50
B.
1.30+x=6.50

C. 1.30/6.50 = x

D.
6.50x=1.30

Answer 1

To determine how many pounds of peaches Charity can buy, we can 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. The equation can be set up as:

Cost per pound × number of pounds = total amount she has

This can be represented as: 1.30x = 6.50

So, the correct option is:

A. 1.30x = 6.50
