Answer 2

The correct option will be : D) in order to find out how much she paid per apple.

Explanation

Suppose, the price of each apple is
`x` dollar.

So, the price of 7 apples will be :
`7*x= 7x` dollar.

Given that, Molli purchased 7 apples for $3.96 , this means.....

`7x= 3.96\\ \\ x= (3.96)/(7)`

Here we can see that if we divide 3.96 by 7 , then we will get 'x' which is the price of each apple.

So, Molli perform that calculation D) in order to find out how much she paid per apple.
