Apples sell for $1.90 per pound, and bananas sell for $0.75 per pound. Troy bought some apples and some bananas. Together they weighed 3.8 pounds, and cost $5.84. Let p represent the number of pounds of apples Troy purchased. Which equation represents the problem described here? A. 1.15p + 2.85 = 5.84 B. –1.15p + 2.85 = 5.84 C. 1.9p + 0.75 = 3.8 D. 1.15p + 2.85 = 3.8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first two are incorrect cuz they are solving for price and have random numbers not mentioned in the problem... I believe it is C since I'm not sure where they would have gotten the 1.15 or the 2.85

ok
