PLEASE HELP ME. The grocery store sells kumquats for $4.25 a pound and Asian pears for $2.25 a pound. Write an equation in standard form for the weights of kumquats k and Asian pears p that a customer could buy with $18.

4.25k + 2.25p = 18
4.25k = 2.25p + 18
4.25p + 2.25k = 18
4.25 + 2.25 = k

What do you think the answer is?

anonymous · Answer

Well i thought it was C first but i guess i was wrong according to these other answers.

vanessaperezxo · Answer

the answer is not c. So you can cross those out.

anonymous · Answer

Hint: use this.
k=kumquat
p=pears
another hint: it will be something plus something = $18
stand form is like x + y = 1
4.25k+2.25p=18?
Yes, that's the correct answer.
