Question

A pound of chocolate costs 6 dollars. Hans buys p pounds. Write an equation to represent the total cost c that Hans pays.

Answer 1

6 * P = C

Explanation:

Since a pound of chocolate costs 6 dollars, that will be the dividend of the equation. Hans is buying an unknown amount of pounds, so you put a P to represent the unknown number. Then, you just put =C because without knowing the amount of pounds Hans buys, P, you can't know the total cost.

Answer 2

6p=c hope this helps!
