Answer 1

Each peach costs $0.56 and the equations used to solve that is $4x= 2.24$ where x is the cost of 1 peach.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

It is given that all the peaches weigh the same and that 4 peaches weigh 1 pound.

Assume that each peach costs x.

So the cost for 4 peaches is given by $4x.$

Step 2:

The cost of 1 pound of peaches is given as $2.24.

1 pound of peaches$=4x.$

So $4x= 2.24, x = \frac{2.24}{4}.$

$x = 0.56.$

So each peach costs $0.56.
