Julio is making lemonade to be sold at a fair. He bought 5 bags of lemons for $19.75

Question

. Complete the equation that models the cost, c, of each bag of lemons.

Answer 1

To find the cost \( c \) of each bag of lemons, we can set up an equation based on the total cost Julio paid for the 5 bags of lemons.

The total cost is given as $19.75 for 5 bags. To determine the cost per bag, we can use the equation:

\[ c \cdot 5 = 19.75 \]

To isolate \( c \), we divide both sides of the equation by 5:

\[ c = \frac{19.75}{5} \]

Thus, the equation that models the cost \( c \) of each bag of lemons can be complete as:

\[ c = \frac{19.75}{5} \]
