Question

The table shows the cost of several bunches of bananas.

What equation can be used to represent the cost of a
bunch that weighs p pounds?

Answer 1

c=0.42 pounds

Explanation:

You divide one of cost by the pounds to get how much one costs then you plug in the equation Cost= # of pound times 48

Answer 2

`c = 5.04a` pounds

Explanation:

To get the cost of each banana, since we know that 4 bananas cost 1.68 pounds from table, then one banana will cost:

`c = (1.68)/(4)`

`c = 0.42`

Hence, the cost of 'a' bunch of bananas will be:

`c = (12a).(0.42)`

`c = 5.04a` pounds
