The total cost of blueberries at the farmers market varies directly with the weight. Victor paid $2.73 for 2.6 pounds of blueberries.

Complete the multiplication equation to find how much any weight of blueberries would cost. Lett represent the total cost, and let w represent the weight of the blueberries.

Answer:

[tex]t = wR_p [R_p = 1.05][/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For the case of victor: , let total cost be [tex]t_v = 2.73[/tex] and total weight be [tex]w_v = 2.6[/tex].

So the price rate per 1 pound of blueberries should be,

[tex]R_P = \frac{t_v}{w_v}\\= \frac{2.73}{2.6}\\= 1.05\\[/tex]

For general case: 1 pound costs [tex]R_P[/tex] so [tex]w[/tex] pound costs [tex]wR_p[/tex] pounds. So the equation should be,

[tex]t = wR_p [R_p = 1.05][/tex]
