, Vicky paid for the oranges and the amount of money she spent?(1 point)
Responses

c3.5=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.

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

c3.90=3.5
; Vicky paid $1.11.

Answer 1

To find the total cost \( c \) that Vicky paid for the oranges, we can set up the equation based on the cost per pound and the total number of pounds she bought.

Given:

• Cost per pound = $3.90
• Number of pounds = 312

The total cost \( c \) can be calculated using the equation:

\[ c = \text{cost per pound} \times \text{number of pounds} \] \[ c = 3.90 \times 312 \]

Thus, the equation that represents the total cost is:

\[ c = 3.90 \times 312 \]

However, none of the equations presented in your responses accurately represents this relationship or directly computes \( c \).

To clarify, the total cost that she should pay, calculated directly, is:

\[ c = 3.90 \times 312 = 1219.80 \]

It appears the options given in your question do not correctly represent the situation. Please check the options again or restate them so I can assist you further in identifying the correct one.
