Question

A farm stand sells oranges in 3-lb bags for $3.75. What equation represents the cost, c, for p pounds of oranges? Think: how much will 1-lb of oranges cost?
A c = 1.25p B p = 1.25c
C c = 3.75p D p = 3.75c

Answer 1

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

1.25 x3 = 3.75

Answer 2

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

It’s not B, because it’s saying each pound is 1.25 multiplied by the cost. We are looking for the cost, not the amount of pounds.

it isn’t C, because the oranges are sold in 3 pound bags, and the equation is comparing the cost of a 3 pound bag to 1 pound of oranges.

And it isn’t D, because D does the same thing as B, but with The cost of a 3 pound bag.
