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

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

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

c3.90=3.5
; Vicky paid $1.11.
Start Fraction c over 3.90 End Fraction equals 3.5 ; Vicky paid $1.11.

c3.5=3.90
; Vicky paid $13.65.

Answer 1

To find the total cost \( c \) that Vicky paid for 312 pounds of oranges at a price of $3.90 per pound, we can set up the equation:

\[ c = 312 \times 3.90 \]

This equation simply represents the total cost as the product of the quantity of oranges (in pounds) and the cost per pound.

Now let's calculate the total cost:

\[ c = 312 \times 3.90 = 1216.80 \]

Therefore, the choice that represents the correct equation for the total cost, \( c \), is:

None of the provided responses are correctly formulated equations that would give the total cost in terms of the number of pounds and price per pound.

If you're looking for the relationship between total cost and price per pound, the equation could be stated simply as \(c = 3.90 \times 312\).

If you would like just a specific equation from your options that somewhat relates to the price per pound or total expenditure, please correct or provide more context, as none of the given choices accurately depict the relationship we derived.
