Question

bananas sell for $0.58 per pound. what is an equation that shows the relationship between the total cost, c and tye number of pounds of bananas, p?

Answer 1

c(p)=0.58p

Explanation:

The total cost will be your y value, and the cost per pound will be your x variable. You can create a function of these two in form f(x), or in your case c(p). you can then input any number for p to get the cost.

Answer 2

c = 0.58p

Explanation:

since c is the cost, it will be isolated on one side of the equation

0.58 is the unit cost for one pound of bananas, so p will represent the amount of pound of bananas being purchased
