Question

A farm stand sells oranges in three LB for 375 what equation represents the cost of C4P pounds of orange

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of  4 pound of oranges is 500 and  equation represents the cost of C4P pounds of orange is $y=\frac{375}{3} \times 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of 1 pound oranges be x

Cost of 3 pound oranges = 3x

We are given that Cost of 3 lb oranges = 375

So, 3x=375

So, x =$\frac{375}{3}$

So, Cost of 1 pound of oranges = $\frac{375}{3}$

Let y be the cost of 4 pound oranges

Cost of 4 pound of oranges y =$\frac{375}{3} \times 4$

Cost of 4 pound of oranges y = 500

Hence The cost of  4 pound of oranges is 500 and  equation represents the cost of C4P pounds of orange is $y=\frac{375}{3} \times 4$
