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?

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

The cost per pound of peaches is $1.30, and she has $6.50 to spend. Therefore, the equation can be set up as follows:

\[ 1.30x = 6.50 \]

Where \(x\) represents the number of pounds of peaches she can buy.

Thus, the correct answer is:

A. \(1.30x = 6.50\)
