Answer 1

Given:

A pound of chocolate costs 7 dollars.

To find:

The equation represents the total cost c for buying p pounds of chocolate.

Solution:

It is given that a pound of chocolate costs 7 dollars. So,

`\begin{gathered} 1\text{ pound}=7\text{ dollars} \\ 1* p\text{ pounds}=7* p\text{ dollars} \\ p\text{ pounds}=7p\text{ dollars} \end{gathered}`

Since the cost of p pounds of chocolate is c. So,

`c=7p`

Thus, the answer is c = 7p.
