Question

The total cost of blueberries at the farmers market varies directly with the weight. Victor paid $2.73 for 2.6 pounds of blueberries.
Complete the multiplication equation to find how much any weight of blueberries would cost. Lett represent the total cost, and let w represent the weight of the blueberries.

Answer 1

Answer:

$t = wR_p [R_p = 1.05]$

Step-by-step explanation:

For the case of victor: , let total cost be $t_v = 2.73$ and total weight be $w_v = 2.6$.

So the price rate per 1 pound of blueberries should be,

$R_P = \frac{t_v}{w_v}\\= \frac{2.73}{2.6}\\= 1.05$

For general case: 1 pound costs $R_P$ so $w$ pound costs $wR_p$ pounds. So the equation should be,

$t = wR_p [R_p = 1.05]$
