Question

Timothy spent $9.00 to buy 4 pounds of green squash. The next day, he bought more squash at the same price. He spent about $6.75 for 3 pounds of yellow squash.

Which equation represents the relationship between the number of pounds of squash, s, and the cost, c, in dollars?

A. c=2.25s
B. c=s/2.25
C. c=9-2.25s
D. c=9s

Answer 1

A.c=2.25s

Proof:
If you input 4 as the number of squash bought in the equation then you end up getting 9 as the cost which is correct.

c=2.25s
c=2.25(4)
c=9✔️
