Question 1150372: Mary buys p peaches at the farmer's market for d dollars each. She spends a total of t dollars on peaches. Create an equation that represents the relationship between t and p.
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
t is the total cost of the peaches.
p is the number of peaches.
d is cost per peach.

the formula to use is t = p * d.
the formula tells you that the total cost is equal to the number of peaches times the cost per peach.

if you divide both sides of t = p * d by p, you get t / p = d.
t / p = d can also be shown as d = t / p.
this formula tells you that the cost per peach is equal to the total cost divided by the number of peaches.

if you divide both sides of t = p * d by d, you get t / d = p.
t / d = p can also be shown as p = t / d.
this formula tells you that the number of peaches is equal to the total cost divided by the cost per peach.
