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

?c=?

Answer 1

To find the cost \( c \) of each bag of lemons, we can set up the equation using the total cost and the number of bags.

Given:

• Total cost for 5 bags of lemons = $19.75
• Number of bags = 5

We can express the total cost in terms of the cost per bag:

\[ 5c = 19.75 \]

To find the cost per bag \( c \), we can solve for \( c \) by dividing both sides of the equation by 5:

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

So, the complete equation that models the cost \( c \) of each bag of lemons is:

\[ 5c = 19.75 \]
