At Fry's supermarket, each 12-1b bag of apples costs $4. Write an equation to represent the relationship between the number of pounds of apples, p, and cost, c I

Respuesta :

if a 12 lb bag costs $4, then a 1 lb bag costs $4/12, which is equal to $1/3 dollars, so if we let p be the number of pounds that we are going to buy and c the amount that we must pay

[tex]c=\frac{1}{3}p[/tex]

that is the relation between c and p
