Let's define \( x \) as the cost of each bag of lemons.
Nicole buys 4 bags of lemons, so the total cost for the lemons would be:
\[
4x
\]
She pays a total of $18.80, and we've already established that she paid $2.52 for the ice cream. The equation that represents the total amount spent can be written as:
\[
2.52 + 4x = 18.80
\]
This equation can be used to determine \( x \), the cost of each bag of lemons.
