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. A. 1.30x=6.50 B. 1.30+x=6.50 C. =x D. 6.50x=1.30

Answer 1

To find out how many pounds of peaches Charity can buy, we can set up the equation based on the cost per pound and the total amount of money she has.

Let \( x \) represent the number of pounds of peaches.

The equation to represent this situation is:

\[ 1.30x = 6.50 \]

This means that the cost of \( x \) pounds of peaches (which is $1.30 times \( x \)) equals the total amount of money Charity has ($6.50).

So, the correct choice is:

A. \( 1.30x = 6.50 \)
