Question

Pears sell for $2.90 per pound, and apples sell for $1.20 per pound. Leona bought some apples and pears. The total cost was $10.30.

If p = pears and a = apples, find an equation that models this situation.

10.30p + 1.20a = 2.90

2.90p + 10.30a = 1.20

2.90a + 1.20p = 10.30

2.90p + 1.20a = 10.30

Answer 1

D) 2.90p + 1.20a = 10.30
I actually just took the test on K-12 and it confirms that it is the right answer, so I hope I helped? :)
