SOLUTION

GIVEN

Bananas cost $0.75 per pound. If C represents cost and P represents the number of pounds,

TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT OPTION

which of the following equations describes the rate relationship

• C = 0.75 × P

• C = 0.75 ÷ P

• P = 0.75 × C

• C = 0.75 ÷ P

EVALUATION

Here it is given that C represents cost and P represents the number of pounds

Now Bananas cost $ 0.75 per pound

So cost of 1 pound banana is $ 0.75

∴ The cost of P pound bananas = $ 0.75 × P

Since C represents cost

$\sf{ \therefore \: \:C = 0.75 \times P }$

FINAL ANSWER

Hence the correct option is

$\boxed{\sf{ \:C = 0.75 \times P \: } }$
