Question

Bananas cost $0.47 per pound and Amanda purchased x pounds. She spent a total of $1.41. Which equation expresses the amount Amanda spent on bananas?

0.47 + x = 1.41


0.47 - x = 1.41


0.47x = 1.41


1.41x = 0.47

Answer 1

0.46x= 1.41

x = the number of pounds

so, (.47 ) multiplied by x would equal the total amount she spent

Answer 2

1 pound of bananas costs 0.47(1)$

x pounds of bananas costs 0.47x$

`0.47x = 1.41`

`x = (1.41)/(0.47) = 3`
