Which equation can be used to find p ?


A. .50p+2=4.10

B. .50p+2.25=4.10

C .50+2.25p=3.85

D. 2.75+.25p=4.10

Answer 1

B. .50p+2.25=4.10

Explanation:

The equation that need to determine the p is shown below:

Given that the bananas would be bought for $0.50 per pound and 1 pint of strawberries for $2.25

Now the total amount paid by Carol is $4.10

So, the equations would be

0.50p + 2.25 = 4.10

Therefore the option b is correct
