Question

A farm stand sells oranges in three LB for 375 what equation represents the cost of C4P pounds of orange

Answer 1

The cost of 4 pound of oranges is 500 and equation represents the cost of C4P pounds of orange is
`y=(375)/(3) * 4`

Explanation:

Let the cost of 1 pound oranges be x

Cost of 3 pound oranges = 3x

We are given that Cost of 3 lb oranges = 375

So, 3x=375

So, x =
`(375)/(3)`

So, Cost of 1 pound of oranges =
`(375)/(3)`

Let y be the cost of 4 pound oranges

Cost of 4 pound of oranges y =
`(375)/(3) * 4`

Cost of 4 pound of oranges y = 500

Hence The cost of 4 pound of oranges is 500 and equation represents the cost of C4P pounds of orange is
`y=(375)/(3) * 4`
