Question

the grocery store sells $4.00 a pound and pomegrants for $2.75 a pound. Choose an equation in standard form for the weights of data and pomegrants p that a customer could buy with 12 dollars .

A. 4p+ 2.75d = 12
B. 4d= 2.75p +12
C. 4d + 2.75 = 12
D. 4+ 2.75 = d

Answer 1

the cost of both data and pomegrants together must equal $12

Answer 2

and you multiply data with the data price, pomgreant with pomgreant price
to get pounds of fruit -> price

Answer 3

"pomegrants for $2.75 a pound"

so if you have one pound - p=1, you will have to pay
1 x $2.75 or p x $2.75

Answer 4

why would you multiply? and how did you get that

Answer 5

you multiply because it's a price per pound
\[pomegrant:\frac{ $2.75 }{ pound }\]
if you want the price for some weight, you multiply this per pound price with the actual pound, ex. you buy 2 pounds:
\[\frac{ $2.75 }{ pound } \times 2 pound=$5.5\]

Answer 6

wait so what would the answer be for this ?

Answer 7

did you copy a-D precisely ?

Answer 8

i copy d as it was 4 the answers

Answer 9

you multiply because it is a price for one pound

so if you have two pounds, you pay two times that one pound price
if you only buy half a pound, you pay half the one pound price

Answer 10

because I would expect the eq to be

12 = 4 d + 2.75 p ....

Answer 11

wait im lost here

Answer 12

ok tell me whats unclear

Answer 13

so would it be C

Answer 14

yes but the C does have only 2.75 and no p

Answer 15

yes does i forgot to put it in there

Answer 16

ok , then that's the answer :)

Answer 17

thank you
