Question

A pound of chocolate cost six dollars . Donna buys P pound. Write an equation to represent the total cost c that Donna pays 

Answer 1

Answer:

c = 6P

Step-by-step explanation:

equation format: c = mP

c = the total cost Donna pays

m = the cost per pound of chocolate(6)

P = the amount of pounds Donna buys

Since we know the cost per pound is $6, we can input it into the equation format:

c = 6P

Now we have an equation that represents the total cost (c) that Donna pays for P pounds.

Answer 2

Let C = total cost that Donna pays.

Donna buys P pound at $6 per pound tells me to multiply.

C = 6P.
