Lashawna is packaging some bulk candy for a sale. The price is $3.98 per pound. Write an equation to model the relationship between the total cost, c, and the weight of the candy in pounds, p. A. c = 3 . 98 p B. c = 3 . 98 + p C. c = 3 . 98 p D. c = p 3 . 98

The correct answer is A. c = 3.98p

Correct statement and question:

Lashawna is packaging some bulk candy for a sale. The price is $3.98 per pound. Write an equation to model the relationship between the total cost, c, and the weight of the candy in pounds, p.

A. c = 3.98p

B. c = 3.98 + p

C. c = 3.98/p

D. c = p/3.98

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Price per pound of the bulk candy = $ 3.98

2. Write an equation to model the relationship between the total cost, c, and the weight of the candy in pounds, p.

c = Total cost

p = weight of the candy in pounds

Let's write the equation:

Total cost = Price per pound * Weight of the candy in pounds

Replacing with the values and variables we know:

c = 3.98p

The correct answer is A. c = 3.98p

In this problem, we know that Lashawna is packaging candy and that each pound of candy costs $3.98. Depending on how much candy someone will buy, we put the variable p next to end so this case very depending on many bags of candy a customer buy.

So our equation will read c = 3.98p

x is greater than 5

step-by-step explanation:

2x+7 is greater than 17

    -7                           -7

2x is greater than 10

divide by 2 each side

x is greater than 5
