Question

Problem. needed for homework

Answer 1

Assuming that the question is how much would it cost to buy X pound of oranges if each pound cost $1.25.

To solve this problem, you would need to say

Let X represent the number of pounds of oranges

Then if the price per pound is $1.25, multiply it by X which would be the number of pounds.

Example:

If I bought 5 lbs of oranges and knowing my equation is $1.25 * X lbs.

Then to solve this problem it would be

X=5lbs

$1.25 * X

$1.25 * 5 lbs = $6.25 for 5lbs of oranges.

I hope this helps.
