Vicky bought 3 1/2

Question

pounds of oranges. Each pound costs $3.90. Which of the following equations represents the total cost, c
, Vicky paid for the oranges and the amount of money she spent?(1 point)
Responses

c/3.5=3.90
; Vicky paid $13.65.
Start Fraction c over 3.5 End Fraction equals 3.90 ; Vicky paid $13.65.

3.90c=3.5
; Vicky paid $0.90.
3.90 c equals 3.5 ; Vicky paid $0.90.

3.90/3.5=c
; Vicky paid $13.65.
Start Fraction 3.90 over 3.5 End Fraction equals c ; Vicky paid $13.65.

c/3.90=3.5 Vicky paid $1.11.

Answer 1

To find the total cost \( c \) that Vicky paid for the oranges, we can use the equation:

\[ c = (3.5 \text{ pounds}) \times (3.90 \text{ dollars per pound}) \]

Calculating the total cost:

\[ c = 3.5 \times 3.90 = 13.65 \]

The correct equation that represents the total cost is:

\[ c = 3.5 \times 3.90 \]

This means that \( c = 13.65 \). Thus, the response that corresponds to this calculation is:

c = 3.90/3.5; Vicky paid $13.65.

This corresponds to correctly stating the total cost and value for \( c\).
