Question

Which equation could represent “the total cost of apples at the store that sell for $1.75 per pound” where C is the total cost and p is the pounds of apples? C(p) = 1.75p

Answer 1

C represents the total cost of the apples.

p represents the pounds of apples.

Cost is the function of the pounds of apple sold. "p" is the independent function and "C" is the dependent function.

The total cost of apples at the store is $ 1.75 per pound.

So, the cost equation is represented by C (p) = 1.75 p , meaning that total cost is the function of the apples sold.
