Charity is buying peaches at the store. The cost of the peaches are $1.30 per pound. If she has $6.50 to spend on peaches, how many pounds (x) can she buy? Set up an equation to solve the problem.

Answer 1

The cost of the peaches per pound can be represented by the equation $1.30x, where x is the number of pounds.
Since Charity has $6.50 to spend, the equation becomes: $1.30x = $6.50.
