Answer:

the cost of 5 oranges would be $2.00

Explanation:

To solve this we need to find the unit rate and when we do this we can solve this problem. To find that we need to divide 4.80 by 12 once we do that we just have to multiply that number by 5 to get our answer, when you divide you'll get 0.4 and then multiply that by 5 and you'll get $2.00.
