Question

10. Write an equation to represent this situation. Use c to represent the cost of the apples in dollars and p to represent the weight of apples in pounds.
c = 0.67pc = 0.67p

c = 1.50pc = 1.50p

c =3.00pc =3.00p

c =4.50p

Answer 1

Complete question :

A grocery store charges $4.50 per pound for organic apples. What is the cost c, in dollars, of p pounds of organic apples? Write an equation to represent the situation.

Answer:

c =4.50p

Step-by-step explanation:

If cost of apples in dollars = c

Weight of apples in pounds = p

The charge in dollar per pound of apple = $4.50

The total cost, c of apple can be expressed as :

Total cost, c = charge per pound * weigh of apple

Total cost, c = $4.50 * p

c = 4.50p
