PLEASE HELP!!! The grocery store sells kumquats for $3.75 a pound and Asian pears for $2.25 a pound. Write an equation in standard form for the weights of kumquats k and Asian pears p that a customer could buy with $14.

3.75k + 2.25p = 14
3.75 + 2.25 = k
3.75k = 2.25p + 14
3.75p + 2.25k = 14

Answer 1

Hello there.

PLEASE HELP!!! The grocery store sells kumquats for $3.75 a pound and Asian pears for $2.25 a pound. Write an equation in standard form for the weights of kumquats k and Asian pears p that a customer could buy with $14.

3.75k + 2.25p = 14

Answer 2

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. The equation that would represent the problem stated above would be 3.75k + 2.25p = 14 where k is the number of kumquats bought and p is the number of pears. Hope this answers the question.
