Question

Kendra bought a gallon of milk and StartFraction 5 over 6 EndFraction of a pound of oranges. If the gallon of milk cost $3.60 and she spent a total of $4.35, which equation can be used to determine x, the cost of a pound of oranges?

3.60 + StartFraction 5 over 6 EndFraction x = 4.35
4.35 + StartFraction 5 over 6 EndFraction x = 3.60
3.60 x + StartFraction 5 over 6 EndFraction = 4.35
4.35 x + StartFraction 5 over 6 EndFraction = 3.60

Answer 1

a

Answer 2

A. 3.60+5/6x=4.35

4.35 = 3.6 +5/6 * x
