Question

Maribel was working at the fruit stand and had to find how much change to give a customer. The customer bought 11 oranges at $0. 65 each and paid with a $10 bill. Use c to represent the amount of change and choose the correct equation.

Answer 1

Step 1: Calculate the price of 11 oranges at $0.65 each.

11 × 0.65 = $7.15

Step 2: Consider the constraint: if Maribel only has a $10 bill, we have to deduct $7.15 from $10 to find our answer:

$10.00 - $7.15 = $2.85

Step 3: Write an equation based on our solution:

C = 10-0.65x ; Where:

* 10- indicates that we start with $10, and subtract from there.
* C is the amount of change per purchase.
* X is the number of oranges a customer buys.

Answers:

1. The customer receives $2.85 in change.
2. Given a case where a customer pays with one 10-dollar bill, their purchase amount can be calculated with C = 10-0.65x

I hope this helped! Have a great day.

Answer 2

A) 11(0.65)+c=10
