Final answer:
The correct equation to represent the total cost c for p pounds of chocolate, where each pound costs $6, is c = 6p.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is asked to write an equation to represent the total cost c that Yolanda pays for p pounds of chocolate, where a pound of chocolate cost 6 dollars. To solve this, we consider the given information that one pound of chocolate costs $6. Therefore, if Yolanda buys p pounds of chocolate, we multiply the cost per pound by the number of pounds to find the total cost. The equation that represents this situation is c = 6p, where c is the total cost and p is the number of pounds of chocolate that Yolanda buys. The correct choice from the given options is:
A) c=6p, which represents the total cost as 6 times the number of pounds purchased.
