A) We are told that cost of blueberries is $4.99 a pound.

Now, Diego buys b pounds of blueberries and pays $14.95.

Since 1 pound costs $4.99, then b pounds will cost $4.99b

Since he paid $14.95, then the equation is;

$4.99b = $14.95

B) We are told that cost of blueberries is $4.99 a pound.

Now, Jada buys p pounds of blueberries and pays $c.

Since 1 pound costs $4.99, then p pounds will cost $4.99p

Since he paid $c, then the equation is;

$4.99p = $c

C) We are told that cost of blueberries is $d a pound.

Now, Lin buys q pounds of blueberries and pays $t.

Since 1 pound costs $d, then q pounds will cost $qd

Since he paid $t, then the equation is;

$qd = $t

idk rest
